title: [A woman with a painful toe].
abstract: A 64-year-old woman visited the surgeon because of an infected right hallux. After investigation we concluded she had myiasis caused by an infestation with Lucilia Sericata. This usually occurs in tropical regions in patients with low standards of hygiene, but is sometimes found in non-tropical countries, in patients with minor underlying lesions.
