Abstract AR
Objective: to determine the causative organisms of otomycosis in Sudanese patients Design: Prospective study of consecutive patients with clinically suspected otomycosis Setting: ENT Department, Wad Medani Teaching Hospital, Sudan Subjects: 64 Sudanese patients Interventions: Ear swabs cultured for fungal growth Results: All 64 patients had unilateral disease.
Infection involved one organism in 46 (72%)patients.
Infection involved 2 organisms in 16 (25%) patients.
Three organisms were involved in 2 (3%) patients.
Eighty four isolates were obtained: 42 (50%) were Aspergillusniger; 17(20%) were A.
Flavus; 12 isolates (14%) were A.
aculeatus; 5 isolates (6%) were A.
nidulans; 4 isolates (5%) were A.
versicolor; 2 isolates (3%) were A.
Candidas; 1 isolate (1%) each occurred for A.
jwnigatus or A.
parasiticus.
Conclusion: Otomycosis in Sudanese patients is predominantly due to Aspergilli of various species and it is usually a unilateral ear disease.
No Candida species were encountered in this study.
