'Fly boy' continues to suffer as doctors struggle
By Indo-Asian News Service

Kolkata, June 24 (IANS) A 13-year-old boy whose bizarre ailment has a fly-like insect emerging out of him is far from being cured as doctors struggle to detect the source of the parasite.

The fully-grown flies, as doctors described the parasites, have been emerging out of Chandan Goswami's genitals and flying off for more than two weeks now.

Chandan, now receiving treatment at a state-run hospital in West Bengal's Burdwan district, is said to be suffering from a condition called myiasis, a disease seen mostly in Central and Latin America.

In myiasis, the larvae of a type of fly invade a human or animal body, dead or alive. The deposited eggs can then enter the body through pores, the mucous membrane or even the mouth. The hatched larvae then emerge out the host's skin and pupate.

However, in Chandan's case, whole flies complete with wings are emerging out of his body and flying off.

"This is very, very rare. We are trying to find out how the fly entered the boy's body," says Sudhansu Pan, the surgeon attending Chandan.

Doctors carried out a cystoscopy to clear the boy's urinary tract, but the treatment has failed because two more flies emerged out of his penis on Monday.

Doctors admitted they have not been able to identify where the parasite deposit lay inside Chandan's body.

Health authorities have formed a medical board of seven doctors to treat Chandan. Doctors were also "coordinating" with physicians abroad who have experience in dealing with myiasis.

In myiasis, the maggots usually are found underneath the skin and are removed by minor surgery. But whole flies emerging out of a human body is rare, doctors said.

Chandan told doctors he first felt pain in his abdomen almost a month ago. And then he saw the flies intermittently coming out of his penis.

He told his parents, but they didn't initially believe him. Earlier this month, they saw the strange occurrence and took their son to Burdwan hospital, where doctors too were stunned to see the rare case.

ChinaNiki

Celsius
damn, that truely sucks. i hope it doesn do any serious permanent damage.

Celsius
dont the larvae have to feed on some thing in order to be able to grow in to full sised adults....what are they feeding on? blink

DemonicGambit
They are probably feeding on your insides. I had my cousin freak me out on time, she said the larve were going to eat me alive....I was 6 at the time. Stupid B*tch

GroundedAgain
supper is in 20 minutes, i don't think i'll be able to eat. besides the fact that we're having gross hotdish anyway

ChinaNiki
That's why you have to cook pork or the worms eggs in it might hatch and slowly eat your muscles.

DemonicGambit
um...okay....glad I already ate

Celsius
Pork? Why pork?

Dexx
oh..Jesus Christ! That's horrible.
Technicly...it shouldn't be that difficult to treat. Chemo would work, i think...as a last resort

q14cyber
aww poor thing maybe if he drank pepsi he would probably be cured lol



i love pepsi dont you

Stovenutts
quit talking about pepsi. it sucks. all u do is talk about pepsi

DemonicGambit
Pepsi doesn't suck, an' sides this is about fly boy Stove

ChinaNiki
pigs are a common host to trichenella spiralis which causes trichinosis, a parasitic infestation of the muscles eek!

DemonicGambit
Where did ya learn all this ChinaNiki?

ChinaNiki
that one's from microbiology

did i mention i was a memeber of major of the week at college?

DemonicGambit
Nope, but that explains it!

Stovenutts
read the post above mine! smile

Dexx
trichinosis would be too damn simple to diagnostic...and i don't recall any grown flies flying out of your penis as a simptom wink

ChinaNiki
I didn't say it was trichinosis, but probably something that operates in a similar fashion because they both feed on the internal. After all, one is worms and one is flies.wink

Dexx
somehow, i doubt it's because of something he ate. It sounds like an external infestation. Who knows what beast lurks in those realms stick out tongue

Captain REX
That's unhealthy. And it's gotta sting like hell having flies fly out of your dick. sick

That's worse than that pic of the Recluse spider bite that Kes posted. sick sick sick
