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.

Maggot-therapy in veterinary medicine
Research in Veterinary Science, 2008Maggot-therapy is the application of disinfected fly larvae to chronic wounds to debride the wound bed of necrotic tissue, reduce bacterial contamination and enhance the formation of healthy granulation tissue.
