Commas

suggestion

"Myiasis occurs globally, with higher prevalence in subtropical and tropical regions, particularly in areas with poor hygiene and low socioeconomic conditions affecting vulnerable groups such as the elderly, individuals with mental impairment, limited mobility, alcohol use, homelessness, and peripheral vascular diseases ^1-8. Both sexes are equally affected ^1,2,6,7."

Line 3:27 · More than 5 commas in a single sentence might make it more difficult to read.

"Treatment consists of manual maggot removal, wound debridement, saline irrigation, paraffin, ointments, petroleum jelly, and antibiotics to prevent infection ^1,2,6,8. Proper hygiene and wound care are critical in avoiding recurrence ^1,2. Oral and topical ivermectin may be an effective adjunctive treatment for extensive infestations ^2,4,6,7."

Line 31:47 · More than 5 commas in a single sentence might make it more difficult to read.

Oxford Comma

suggestion

"Imaging is rarely required, but when detecting larvae in subcutaneous tissues is challenging, ultrasonography can help identify them by scanning the affected área ⁸. In advanced cases, CT or MRI may help assess tissue destruction or complications like osteomyelitis ²."

Line 29:193 · Use the Oxford comma in 'cases, CT or MRI'.
