    <abstract locale="en_US">Background: Urinary myiasis is a form of myiasis caused mainly by larvae of Fannia scalaris, Musca, Sarcophaga, Lucilia, Wohlfahrtia, Calliphora, and rarely by Eristalis and Clogmia albipunctata.
Methods: This report presents a case of female patient complaining of dysuria and frequency of micturition associ&#xAD;ated with intermittent passage of small, motile, dark-colored worm-like organisms in urine. She was a married housewife aged 24 years old referred from the Tropical Outpatient Clinic of Beni-Suef University Hospital, Egypt. The patient was subjected to a full questionnaire sheet and investigations such as CBC, stool and urine analysis and uri&#xAD;nary ul&#xAD;traso&#xAD;nography. Collected larvae and pupae from urine samples were examined macroscopically and micro&#xAD;scopically.
Results: The examined larvae and pupae belonged to C. albipunctata. Ivermectin was prescribed to the patient with complaint withdrawal and complete disappearance of the larvae from urine.
Conclusion:&#xA0;This study reports the first case of urinary myiasis caused by C. albipunctata in Beni-Suef Governorate, the second in Egypt and third case worldwide. The study throws some light on the medical importance and manage&#xAD;ment of urinary myiasis.</abstract>
