Abstract:
A study was carried out to investigate the presence of mites in human ear in 58 patients (113 ears). Ear scrapings were examined under the microscope by a parasitologist for the presence of house dust mites. Results showed the presence of house dust mites in 8 (7.1%) ears. We can conclude that mites are normal commensals of the external ears in tropical countries.
