Otomycosis is a common disease in North Iraq. Of the 219 cases diagnosed clinically in Mosul Teaching Hospital seen during a 15 month period, 179 were due to fungus infection. The disease was more frequently encountered in young adults whose age was range from 16–30 years. The incidence of the disease was significantly higher in females (65.4 per cent), mainly housewives, than in males. Aspergillus species were the dominant isolated fungi (92.1 per cent).

“…Do these fungi elaborate any substances which might aid their establishment? McLaurin et al (1965) pointed out that in all cases of odds externa there is an interruption of the external auditory canal lining: it is interesting to note, therefore, that Aspergillus fumigatus, for example, elaborates a haemolytic exotoxin capable of altering skin resistance. This fungus also elaborates an antibiotic active against Staph.…”

The microbiology of 12, 174 symptomatic ears presenting over an eingt-year period to one hospital was examined in detail. 1, 061 cases of fungal infection were found. The incidence and pattern of these fungi and the accompanying bacteria, in case of mixed infection, do not appear to have been affected by the widespread use of powerful topically-applied autibiotic/steroid preparations over more than two decades. Otomycosis remains an uncommon, often overlooked but important cause of morbidity in a temperate climate.

“…Hawke et al (1984) found exposure to water and the use of cotton bud applicators predisposed to both acute and chronic otitis externa. Primary infection of the external canal has also been considered important (McLaurin et al, 1965;Bartonetal., 1979;Senturiae/a/., 1980;Hawke etal., 1984).…”

What causes acute otitis externa?

et al. 1993

External otitis is an extremely common condition and can affect between five to twenty per cent of the patients attending ENT clinics (Hawke et al., 1984).Its precise pathogenesis remains unclear, despite several aetiological classifications in the literature. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between infection, water exposure and trauma and the development of acute otitis externa. The study comprised 100 patients with their first attack of otitis externa and 150 age and sex matched controls. In only 40 per cent of cases could a primary microbiological cause be found.There was no significant statistical difference found between the two groups regarding the use of agents capable of traumatizing the external canal. Regular swimming, showering and hair washing were significantly more common in patients with acute otitis externa. Allergic disorders were nearly three times more common in the external otitis group suggesting a possible immunological aetiology.
