Maggot debridement therapy. An alternative treatment for nonhealing ulcers

SR Stoddard, RA Sherman, BE Mason, DJ Pelsang and RA] Sherman RM [corrected to Sherman
University of California at Irvine, USA.

The authors illustrated a chronic bilateral plantar foot ulcer of several years' duration that was resistant to all forms of conventional therapy, yet was resolved after 13 1/2 weeks of maggot therapy. The contralateral foot ulcer showed no improvement during the same period, despite continual inpatient conventional dressing changes. At a time when medical cost containment is a critical issue, maggot therapy may resurge as a viable alternative in treating nonhealing wounds.
