Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
Infection of external auditory canal is relatively un-common due to protective mechanism of cerumen. In this study we compare the bacteriological profile and protective effect of cerumen in patients with recurrent otitis externa & case with open mastoidectomy cavity. Material & Method It is a hospital based observational study done in department of ENT VIMSAR Burla from july 2016 to December 2016 , comprising 90 indivisuals who are divided in to 3 groups, Group-A:30 patients with recurent otitis externa and Group-B 30 open mastoidectomy cavity indivisuals& Group-C: 30 normal indivisuals. Prior ethical approval taken from ethical approval committee VIMSAR, Burla. Conclusion Polymicrobial growth was seen in 60% in group A while in group B it was found to be mostly monomicrobial(70%). The most common organism grown in all 3 groups was staphylococcus epidermidis followed by pseudomonas aeruginosa in group A and staphylococcus aureus & diptheroids in group B & C respectively. Result Predominant organism found in all the groups is staphylococcus epidermidis. Amount of cerumen comparatively less in patients with recurrent otitis externa which also show polymicrobial growth.
