[Myiasis: wound infection caused by fly larvae in a nursing home].
In a 66-year-old man, admitted to a nursing home in the summer for conservative treatment of wet gangrene of his foot, wound myiasis was diagnosed. Amputation below the knee was necessary. Flies laying eggs in necrotic wounds probably gained entrance to the patient's room through doors standing open.
