Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of ENT - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
A one year prospective study was done to compare the bacteriological profile of ear discharge in 40 HIV positive patients versus 40 HIV negative patients attending the out patient department of ENT at Belagavi Institute of Medical sciences hospital, Belagavi, Karnataka. Commonly the organisms responsible for infection of the middle ear cleft are commensals of the upper respiratory tract. The culture of pus from middle ear of cases with CSOM (TT) with HIV infection has shown to be in variation with that of patients with no HIV infection. Pseudomonas, E.coli were found to be more in HIV positive patients. Staphylococcus, Proteus mirabilis, Pneumococcus and Citrobacter were found to be more frequently associated with HIV negative patients.
