RESUMO
An imported case of traumatic myiasis occurred in a soldier wounded during military action in Panama in December 1989 and evacuated to Brooke Army Medical Center, Fort Sam Houston, Texas. At the medical center, five larvae were removed from the scalp wound, reared to the adult stage, and identified as Cochliomyia hominivorax (Coquerel). Though this was the only reported case of wound myiasis of the 254 servicemen evacuated for medical treatment, this incident indicates a potential mechanism for the reintroduction of C. hominivorax into the United States.
