After administration of a local anesthetic, four larvae were surgically extracted (Panels B and C). Parasitologic examination confirmed that the larvae were of the species Cordylobia anthropophaga, the tumbu fly. #Clinical #Derm #InfectiousDisease #Tumbu #TumbuFly #CordylobiaAnthropophaga #Larvae #NEJM
