    Area of Science:

    • Mycology
    • Otolaryngology

    Context:

    • Otomycosis is a fungal infection of the external ear canal.
    • This study reviewed 15 cases from 1984-1988 at a clinic in Salamanca.
    • Common predisposing factors included chronic otitis and eczema.

    Purpose:

    • To analyze the clinical presentation, causative agents, and treatment outcomes of otomycosis.
    • To identify common fungal species and associated bacterial infections.

    Summary:

    • Aspergillus niger was identified in 73.3% of cases.
    • Simple chronic otomycosis was the most frequent presentation (73.3%), characterized by serous discharge and pruritus.
    • Bacterial co-infection (20%) led to more severe symptoms like suppuration and hearing loss.

    Impact:

    • Topical clotrimazole treatment resulted in a 26.7% relapse rate, particularly in cases without bacterial co-infection.
    • Understanding these patterns aids in diagnosing and managing otomycosis effectively.
