Description
Background and Objectives: Chronic suppurative otitis media is defined as chronic inflammation of middle ear and mastoid cavity that presents with recurrent ear discharge of more than three months duration through a perforated tympanic membrane. CSOM is a major health problem in developing countries causing serious local damage and threatening complications. To isolate and to identify aerobic bacteria from Chronic suppurative Otitis media cases, to study antibiotic susceptibility pattern of isolated aerobes and facultative anaerobes, to isolate and identify fungi causing CSOM and to study the antifungal susceptibility pattern of isolated Candida species. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted at the Department of Microbiology, at DMCH, Darbhanga. A total of 500 patients with clinical diagnosis of CSOM from the Department of ENT were enrolled in the study and the samples were obtained from each patient using sterile cotton swabs processed by standard microbiological techniques. Conclusion: Chronic suppurative otitis media is a major health problem in our setup causing serious local damage and threatening complications. Pseudomonas aeruginosa followed by Staphylococcus aureus are the most common bacterial isolates causing CSOM.
