Malignant external otitis: Treatment with prolonged usage of antibiotics and Burow's solution
چکیده انگلیسی
Malignant external otitis is a severe infection of the external auditory canal, generally caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa in elderly diabetics patients. We describe a case of malignant external otitis in a 63-year-old man with severe otalgia, purulent otorrhea and polypoid granulation of the external auditory canal. Local debridement, insulin treatment and 6-week intravenous antibiotic therapy with carbapemens were very effective and the granulation tissue disappeared completely. However, the patient readmitted for recurrent disease 3 weeks later, despite the oral and ear drop administration with new quinolone. No recurrence has been noted after 4-week additional treatment with intravenous carbapenems followed by 3-week treatment with Burow's solution as ear drops.
