Second instar larvae of the fly Chrysomya megacephala (Diptera, Calliphoridae) were recovered from the diapers of a 16-month-old child abandoned by her mother on Oahu, Hawaii. The development of these larvae indicated a minimum period of 23.5 h of exposure prior to discovery of the child. Larvae of this species of fly are not normally associated with living tissues in Hawaii, but rather with feces and remains during the early stages of decomposition. Had the child in this case died and data not been provided detailing the site of infestation, the postmortem interval estimated would have been significantly longer than was actually the case, because of the development of the larvae inside the diapers of the living child. The need for caution in cases involving deaths of infants, the elderly, and individuals not capable of caring for themselves is stressed.

译文

:蝇蝇(Chrysomya megacephala,Diptera,Calliphoridae)的第二龄幼虫是从一个被母亲遗弃在夏威夷瓦胡岛的16个月大婴儿的尿布中回收的。这些幼虫的发育表明在发现孩子之前最短的暴露时间为23.5小时。这种蝇类的幼虫通常与夏威夷的生物组织无关,而与分解初期的粪便和残骸有关。如果在这种情况下该儿童死亡,并且未提供详细的侵染地点的数据,则估计的死后间隔时间将比实际情况长得多,这是因为活着的儿童尿布内的幼虫发育所致。强调在涉及婴儿,老人和无能力照顾自己的人的死亡的情况下需要谨慎。
