Abstract:

Necrotizing external otitis is a severe osteomyelitis of the temporal bone principally affecting elderly diabetics. It is caused by the gram negative bacillus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Clinical findings and diagnosis are reviewed. Long term therapy with intravenous antibiotics is recommended for cure, although newer antimicrobial agents give promise of being successful when administered orally.
