Resumen:
The larvae of a Psychoda sp. (Diptera: Psychodidae) were found in the vagina of a 34-year-old woman with a serohaematic, malodorous discharge subsequent to pelvic pain and cervical biopsy. This occurrence, in the city of Buenos Aires, is the first recorded in Argentina. The larvae of Psychoda spp. usually feed upon bacterial growth inside water pipes. Their presence is interpreted as accidental, perhaps due to local infection suffered by the patient.
