Greenberg (1984), Chigusa and Sugiet aL (1994) have and Chigusa yama (1987) indicated that debilitatedpersons, persons cannot drive away fiiesby themwho selves, such as neonates and patientswho are mentally disturbed or in a comatose state are predisposed to fall victim to myihave asis. Moreover, Chigusa et al. (1996) out that not only elderly or debilpointed itatedpersons, but also those with psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, should be protected from fiies, because of dirninishedsensitivitheir autism and/or ty, which may make it easy for fiiesto deposit eggs or larvae on the patients' body surface or orifices. The present patient had been suffering from tetraplegia, i.e.unable to change his posture by himself, since suffering a pontine infarctionin March 1984. Therefore, he was at risk of exposure to myiasis, a$ indicated above. Additional factorsfor predisposition to myiasis in the veterinary fieldhave been studied by several investigators {Wattset al. 1979; Gherardi et al. 1981; Gherardi et al. 1983). These are dermatophi!osis,an actinomycotic diseasecaused by DermatoPhiluscongolense, and bacterialfieecerot, a superficial dermatitisinduced by moisture and
