Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: Otomycosis is fungal infection of the external auditory canal and its associated complications sometimes involving the middle ear. Methods: A prospective study was conducted on 50 patients who were clinically diagnosed with otomycosis and presented to our OPD. Results: Aspergillus niger 46.00% was the predominant species isolated. Aspergillus flavus 28.00% was the second most common species isolated. Aspergillus fumigatus 12.00% Candida species 8.00% and Mucor was 4% isolate. Conclusion: Clinical suspicion of otomycosis can prevent unnecessary use of antibiotics.
