Maggot Therapy-Reply

Archives of Otolaryngology, 1977
In Reply.—We note that while Dr Lewy's 1937 experience with the topical use of 2% urea in the treatment of fetid necrotic wounds is interesting, his conjecture that this would have been as effective as maggot therapy in our case is curious indeed, particularly when only 9 of his 17 patients so treated showed any measureable improvement.

A Review of the Use of Maggots in Wound Therapy

Annals of Plastic Surgery, 2008
