The most common organism isolated was Pseudomonas aeruginosa -41.72%, followed by Staph Aureus in 13.72%, Klebsiellaaerogens in12.12%, E.Coli in 9.12%, Proteus Mirabillis-7.51%, Peptostreptococcus Spp. In 3.78%, Propionibacterium-2.12%, No growth in 21%. Conclusion: It can be concluded from our study that the most common age was young and old age, most common in females and bilateral.
