Introduction: Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is a chronic inflammation in the middle ear and mastoid space that repeatedly secretes through the perforated membrane of tympanic disease over three months. This disease is a critical cause of hearing in developing countries. The prevalence of CSOM in Indonesia is 3.8%. Improper use of antibiotics leads to germicidal incidence. Understanding the pattern of germs and their antibiotic sensitivity will lead to a rational choice of antibiotics to prevent the emergence of resistance. Aim: to report the microbiological profile and sensitivity patterns in CSOM patients in our department. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective descriptive study conducted on 45 patients from September 2019 - March 2020 at the ENT-KL Department of Dr Soetomo Surabaya Indonesia. Forty-five samples were collected from CSOM patients who underwent mastoidectomy. Specimens were collected from these patients, examination, isolation, examination and isolation antibiogram were carried out according to standard procedures. Results: A total of 45 samples were obtained from this study, and all (57.77%) of the patients were identified as CSOM cases with cholesteatoma. The number of women is 62.3% more than men, and the age group 12 to 16 (20.0%) is the most reported. There were 75.6% perforations in the tympanic membrane, and a central perforation was primarily found (35.6%). Most of the Schuller mastoid X-ray results showed sclerotic features in 29 patients (59.2%). Of the 45 ear swabs, about 68.89% of the surgical materials gave positive culture results, the remaining 31.11%. There was no microbial growth, where most of the growth of monomicrobial bacteria (57.8%). Of the isolates that grew, 70.58% were identified as the group of gram-negative bacteria, with Pseudomonas Aerogenosa isolates being the most common (44.11%). Conclusion: The sensitivity test showed the most sensitivity to Meropenam, Amikacin, Piperacillin-Tazobactam, Ceftasidim and Cefoperazone-Sulbactam Cefotaxime and Ceftriaxone showed lower sensitivity.
Background Nasal myiasis is a nasal infestation caused by house fly larvae (maggot). It's a rare condition with only a few reported cases and no treatment consensus. Case presentation A 54-year-old woman was admitted to the emergency unit with a complaint of larvae found in the left nasal cavity and bloody nasal discharge for 2 days. Anterior rhinoscopy found some living larvae in a narrowed left nasal cavity. Patient's management included larvae removal manually with forceps, nasal saline irrigation, a systemic broad-spectrum antibiotic, and insulin to controlled blood sugar. Discussion Removal of larvae in the nasal cavity using irrigation saline and systemic broad-spectrum antibiotics is effective in the absence of bone destruction. Conclusion manual extraction combined with nasal saline irrigation and systemic broad-spectrum antibiotic was effective to manage nasal myiasis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
