“…Review of literature showed that many authors ( Tulsi Das, 1954, Baruah et al, 1972 and Ojala et al 1981) had focussed their attention on the bacterial flora of chronic suppurative otitis media, but very little is known about the mycological aspects of these ears, the importance of which has been increasing in the recent years beca~;se :s the excessive use of broad spectrurn antibiotics, corticosteroids and cytotoxic chemotherapy and increase in the number of immune deficiency conditions. The present series deals with the study of fungal flora of cases of chornic suppurative otitis media who attended the E. N. T. Out patient Department of Medical College, Amritsar frorn April 1994 to July, 1996.…”

Ear discharge specimens from 182 clinically diagnosed cases of chronic suppurative otitis media were cultured for isolation of fungi and bacteria. Positive fungal cultures were obtained in 13.7 % ; present alone in 7.6% and incombination with various bacteria in 6.1%. Bacteria alone were present in 60.4% cases. The fungal isolates were candida albicans (60%) and Aspergillus (40%). Bacterial isolates showed the predominence of pseudomonas aeriginosa (44.8%) followed by Staphylococcus aureus (20.4%). Newer antibiotics like Cefotaxime, Gentamicin and Ciprofloxacin were found to be more effective against all the gram positive and negative isolates.
