Myiasis occurs when the human tissues are infested by larvae of dipterous flies. Clogmia albipunctata (C. albipunctata), is one of the important arthropods causing human myiasis. C. albipunctata can cause urogenital or intestinal myiasis in non-hygienic settings. The aim is to report a case of infantile intestinal myiasis. It presented a case of 1.5 years female infant complaining of gastrointestinal symptoms with recurrent passage of small moving worm-like structures in stool. They were collected and checked both macroscopically and microscopically. Upon Larval examination, it was proved by morphological detection of the fourth instar larvae of C. albipunctata. Ivermectin treatment was prescribed and was associated by relief of symptoms and disappearance of larvae from stool
