In the present study it has been observed that Otomycosis is prevalent in patients with age group between 21-30 yrs followed by 31-40 yrs and 41-50 yrs 9,16,17,24 The high incidence can be attributed to the high degree of humidity and heat, the dusty environment and the fact that a large proportion of the population is made up of outdoor labourers and persons of low socioeconomic status.…”

Background: CSOM is a chronic inflammation of middle ear and mastoid cavity with recurrent ear discharge lasting for more than 6 months. Otomycosis is increasing in recent years because of the indiscriminate use of broad spectrum antibiotics, corticosteroids and an increase in the number of immune deficiency disorders, swimming, use of oils and ear drops. Aims and objectives: The study aimed to find out the fungal agents responsible for causing CSOM among the patients who attended Out Patient Department of ENT in collaboration with Department of Microbiology, Dr. P.D.M.M. College and Hospital, Amravati. Material and Methods: A Total of 130 patients who were clinically diagnosed with CSOM of all age groups and both sexes were selected for study from April 2018 to March 2019. Ear discharge was collected under aseptic precautions using sterile cotton swabs and direct microscopic examination and fungal culture was done. Slide culture done for differentiation of morphology of different species. Results: A total of 130 patients, Fungus isolated from 75 cases. Of which 49 were males and 26 were females. Main fungal isolates were Aspergillus species 51 (68 %), followed by Candida albicans 18 (24 %), Non albicans Candida 4 (5. 33 %), Penicillium 2 (2.66 %). Conclusion: CSOM with Otomycosis produce serious complications and treatment failure. Hence in cases of persistent otorrhoea, aural fullness, otalgia or any symptoms which signifies chronic middle ear infection, then fungal infection should be suspected. If the discharging ear is not responding with antibiotics aural toilet and fungal culture and sensitivity should be done in refractory cases before starting antibiotic therapy.

Introduction: Discharging otitis media with superadded fungal infection is now become major otolarynological problems in India commonly seen in children and also in adults. The incidence has been increased in proportion to the wide spread use of topical antibiotics aural preparations. Materials and Methods: Total 176 patients belonging to all age groups and both sexes(128male and 48female) were included. All were prediagnosed cases of discharging otitis media enrolled in the study. Results: Out of 176 cases, 106 cases (76-male, 30-female) belong to acute suppurative otitis media (ASOM) and 70 cases (52male, 18-female) belong to chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM). In mycological profile of both type of otitis media acute and chronic, 10 fungus isolated, 9 isolates were in chronic suppurative otitis media, of which 6 were of Aspergillus species and remaining 3 were belong to Candida isolates. Only one isolates of Candida albicans was seen in acute suppurative otitis media. Conclusion:We found that majority of the patients of chronic suppurative otitis media with superadded fungal infection as compared to acute suppurative otitis media.

“…This condition arises as a result of longstanding middle ear infection emanating from unresolved or poorly treated acute conditions. It is the chronic inflammation of the middle ear and mastoid mucosa in which the tympanic membrane is perforated and discharges of greyish white, homogenous and viscous recurrent secretion lasting for more than 6 months are present (7). Chronic otitis media can present in two different ways, either as chronic suppurative otitis media or chronic non-suppurative otitis media.…”

“…Otitis media (OM) is an inflammatory disease of the mucosal lining of the middle ear (1,2) that may be caused by bacteria, fungi and viruses (3)(4)(5)(6)(7). This infection can be acute or chronic in nature; suppurative or nonsuppurative (1,8).…”

Otitis media is a global disease with severe health, social and economic burdens. In Nigeria, there are limited data on the profile of anaerobic species associated with the categories of otitis media. The focus of most laboratory diagnosis for otitis media has been on aerobic organisms, the very few that considered anaerobes often use unsuitable standard anaerobic techniques that often lead to misdiagnosis. In other to prevent antibiotic resistance, treatment failure, recurrent infection and associated complication in cases of patients with otitis media, proper laboratory techniques should be utilized to ascertain the pathogens hence, anaerobes should not be overlooked. This review therefore underscores the standard methods of anaerobic techniques being utilized in the laboratory diagnosis of otitis media in Nigeria.
