Myiases are parasitic infestations of humans or animals by fly larvae that infest skin, necrotic tissues, and natural cavities. They can be associated with nosocomial infections and cases of nasopharyngeal, testinic, and urinary myiasis have been reported. We presented a clinical case of urinary bladder myiasis and figure out the mechanism that allow the disease. The female patient arrived at Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at epilepsy condition so we have to induct to barbituric coma. The proper lab studies were conducted based on clinic practice guide; however, no positive results were found. She stops to pee and we identified a vesical balloon, then we decided to change the urinary catheter and then a lot of fly larvae were thrown, then we made the analysis of the fly specie. We notified to the Epidemiology Unit due to the patient was 15 days before in a small river at Morelos State in Mexico in a visit from a boy scout group. We made the lab studies to the other visitors to identify root cause and found out this was the contagion. We provided epidemiology hygienic recommendations at home to family. Finally, the patient was healed using antiparasitic medicine. As far as we know, there are no report of this type of myiasis in our country.
