Of these, 64 cases were found to be infested with maggots. Live maggots were collected in all cases from different sites viz. nasal cavity, hand, great toe and second toe. It was possible to rear the maggots into flies in 53 out of 64 cases. In 11 cases the maggots did not survive and died in the early part of their life cycle. Four different types of flies were identified viz. Sarcophaga haemorrhoidalis, Chrysomya bezziana, Callitroga americana and Musca domestica.</p>  a0001-5938
