Myiasis which is a parasitic disease of humans and vertebrates, is caused by dipterous fly larvae feeding on the host’s necrotic or living tissue. Entry of the larvae occurs through skin wounds or mouth, ears, eyes and urogenital tract. The infestation is endemic in some areas and travel-related in other areas. The reported predisposing risk factors for human myiasis include poor hygiene, advanced age, diabetes mellitus, pyschiatric illness, low socio-economic status and homelessness. Psychoda albipennis which can thrive in an environment of a moist bathroom may cause urogenital myiasis in humans. Here, we reported a rare case of urogenital myiasis caused by P. albipennis in a 16 year-old female patient with type 1 diabetes mellitus. In conclusion, urogenital myiasis should be kept in mind in patients who are living in rural areas, having poor hygienic conditions and see worms in their urine.
