    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Mycology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Context:

    • Otomycosis is a common fungal infection of the external ear canal.
    • It presents distinct symptoms differentiating it from bacterial otitis externa.
    • Understanding these differences is crucial for effective treatment.

    Purpose:

    • To analyze the characteristics and therapeutic outcomes of 148 otomycosis cases.
    • To highlight diagnostic differentiators between fungal and bacterial otitis externa.
    • To report on the efficacy and recovery time of otomycosis treatments.

    Summary:

    • The study included 148 patients diagnosed with otomycosis.
    • Key differentiating symptoms include itching, lack of ear pain, discharge, and non-responsiveness to antibiotics.
  • Successful treatment resulted in recovery within approximately 10 days.

    • Impact:

    • Provides clinical insights into the diagnosis and management of otomycosis.
    • Contributes to the understanding of otomycosis prevalence within external otitis cases.
    • Offers evidence-based data on treatment duration and effectiveness for fungal ear infections.
