Ultrasonographic features of Lucilia sericata-induced wound myiasis with foot gas gangrene: A case report
-induced wound myiasis with gas gangrene, underscoring the diagnostic value of point-of-care colour Doppler imaging in complex wound infections. In malodorous wounds with intralesional gas, the presence of self-propelling movement and posterior acoustic shadow, combined with a twinkle artefact on colour Doppler imaging should raise suspicion for myiasis as an important differential diagnosis.
