Abstract
Aim: To analyze the incidence, etiology and characteristics of otitis externa occurring in tropical areas. Sources & Methods: The anamnestic data, physical examination and documentation were achieved during ENT consultations to be analyzed retrospectively. Results: Otitis externa was a leading motivation to consult in ENT. All age groups and both sexes were included though differences were observed concerning their incidence, cause, side and causative agents. The presence of foreign bodies and mycosis was higher than experienced in Europe. The presence of mycosis was confirmed clinically when no culture was available. Despite of the important pain present in most cases, local cleaning and adapted treatment were usually efficacy. Conclusion: In tropical areas mycotic otitis externa is more frequent. In many cases aggravated and provocated by the presence of foreign bodies. Adapted treatment is necessary even when no microbiological confirmation is available. Patient education is a must.
