    Post-operative ear infections after obliterative surgery show varied bacterial types unrelated to discharge or cholesteatoma. Accurate chemotherapy control requires specific bacteriological examination for each infected ear.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Postoperative infections are a concern following obliterative ear surgery.
    • Understanding the bacteriology of these infections is crucial for effective treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the bacteriology of postoperatively infected ears.
    • To correlate bacteriological findings with the clinical state and disease present.
    • To determine the predictability of bacteriology based on clinical presentation.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of 85 infected ears following obliterative surgery.
    • Categorization of discharge (mucous, mucopurulent, seropurulent) and ear moisture.
    • Identification of cholesteatoma presence and location.

  • Assessment of Eustachian tube function via Valsalva test.

    • Main Results:

    • Bacterial types did not significantly correlate with discharge quality, cholesteatoma presence, or Eustachian tube function.
    • Clinical presentation of the ear could not predict the specific bacteriology.
    • A significant portion of ears exhibited purulent or seropurulent discharge.

    Conclusions:

    • The bacteriology of post-operative ear infections is independent of the clinical state.
    • Clinical assessment alone is insufficient for predicting causative bacteria.
    • Bacteriological examination is essential for targeted chemotherapy in post-operative ear infections.
