Myiasis is defined as the infestation of live vertebrates (humans and/or animals) with dipterous larvae. We present a case of rare but not unknown type of myiasis, presented by an 11 days old neonate. The larvae were characterised microscopically. Poor sanitation is probably the most important risk factor for human myiasis. Umblical myiasis though a rare presentation due to improved health conditions and health education still remains an entity to be looked for in case of newborn belonging to low socio economic status parents and even in orphanages.

IntroductionAlexithymia is considered as a deficit in emotion processing. It includes difficulty to identify and describe feelings as well as discriminate between feelings and physical sensations. Alexithymia may be a risk factor for substance use (SUD).ObjectivesThe objective of this work is to identify the prevalence and correlates of alexithymia among patients with SUD.MethodsThis study concerns 40 subjects who were hospitalized in a rehabilitation center in Sfax. The subjects completed a form investigating sociodemographic and drug use characteristics. Alexithymia was assessed using the Toronto Alexithymia Scale TAS-20 a. The TAS-20 have three factors: difficulty in identifying feelings (F1), difficulty in describing feelings (F2), and externally oriented thinking (F3).ResultsThe mean age of 30.86 ± 8.07 years. The mean score of alexithymia was 65.39 ± 9.65 (42→83). The scores of its dimensions were 25.3 ± 6.10 for F1, 17.16 ± 3.3 for F2 and 23.16 ± 3.18 for F3. The prevalence of alexithymia was 62.8% among addicts. High alexithymic patients did not differ from low or moderate alexithymic patients in terms of, employment, education or the type of substance. TAS-20 was correlated to socio-economic status (P = 0.002). No correlation was observed between age and alexithymia (total TAS-20) when measured as a continuous variable (P = 0.802). High alexithymic patients exhibited a higher preference for poly-substance use compared with no alexithymic patients (P = 0.05).ConclusionFindings suggest that alexithymia is frequent in SUD patients. It should be noted in clinical practice that many patients with SUD may have a reduced capacity to identify and describe feelings during detoxification.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

A battery of six tests assessing various aspects of receptive and expressive oral language was administered to 27 cerebral palsied children and controls matched on the variables of age, intelligence, sex, race, hearing acuity, socio-economic status, and similarity of educational background. Results indicated only minimal differences between groups. Signs of deviancy in language behavior often attributed to the cerebral palsied were not observed. Although previous investigators have suggested consistent language disturbances in the cerebral palsied, evidence for a disorder of comprehension and formulation of oral symobls was not found.
