Ignatzschineria larvae Bacteremia in a Patient With Chronic Leg Ulcer: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Ignatzschineria larvae (I. larvae) is a bacterium found in the digestive tract of some flies. A few cases of bacteremia by I. larvae are described in the literature. We present the case of a patient with chronic leg ulcer and poor hygienic and social conditions, who presented with bacteremia from I. larvae. As there are few cases described in the literature, there are no guidelines yet for the treatment of this bacteremia. We report a short review of the literature below.
