A Comparative Study on Management of Acute Otitis Externa with and Without Oral Antibiotics in a Tertiary Care Centre, Maduranthagam
AbstractAcute otitis externa also called as “Swimmers ear” is commonly seen in all age groups. It is a very common condition, severely painful, characterised by otalgia, otorrhoea, conductive hearing loss and an oedematous ear canal. There is dearth of evidence based treatment guidelines leading to difference of opinion in its treatment p articularly in the usage of systemic antibiotics and local antibiotics. To evaluate the clinical efficacy of oral antibiotics in two different protocols in treatment of acute otitis externa. A total of 80 patients with clinically diagnosed otitis externa were included into the study. ...

Chronic otorrhea and osteomyelitis of the external auditory canal by Achromobacter xylosoxidans: an uncommon diagnosis
ConclusionsAtypical pathogens such asA. xylosoxidans can be the cause of chronic otitis externa. Early diagnosis and specific antibiotherapy can prevent the development of further complications, such as osteomyelitis. In these cases, otic cultures play an essential role to identify the causal germ. This is the first case of EAC osteomyelitis due toA. xylosoxidans reported to date.

Otorhinolaryngological Manifestations among People Living with HIV/AIDS in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania: a Cross-Sectional Study
AbstractHuman immunodeficiency virus/Acquired immunodeficiency virus (HIV/AIDS) is well known to be a major public health problem globally. On the other hand, HIV/AIDS is associated with various otorhinolaryngological manifestations. On the other hand, there has been a global reduction in the burden of otorhinolaryngological manifestations since the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy though there are limited studies on otorhinolaryngological manifestations among HIV/AIDS patients in Tanzania. A hospital based descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at Ilala District in Dar es Salaam from November ...

Evaluation of plasma canine C-reactive protein concentrations in dogs with otitis media, healthy dogs and dogs with chronic otitis externa
CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Plasma CRP concentration is not reliable as a discriminatory tool in cases of otitis, although there is a trend for elevation in cases with more severe disease. However, a larger study may provide a statistically more reliable correlation between the severity of OM and CRP concentrations.PMID:38379189 | DOI:10.1111/vde.13241 (Source: Veterinary Dermatology)

Fungal Otitis Externa (Otomycosis) Associated with Aspergillus Flavus: A Case Image
AbstractA 48-year-old man presented with a chief complaint of intermittent right ear otorrhea of several-month duration, occasional otalgia and progressive unilateral hearing impairment. He also reported frequent episodes of headache and pressure in the sinuses and maxilla. Previous systemic treatment with antibiotics failed to alleviate the symptoms. A head/neck CT showed completely normal mastoid, middle ear and external auditory canal regions without any evidence of opacification or bone erosion. Otoscopic examination of the right ear disclosed aggregates of dried, brown, fibrillar material and debris occluding the exte...
