Abstract | OBJECTIVES: PATIENTS AND METHODS: RESULTS: Aerobic bacteria were isolated in 94.1% of patients before the treatment, the most common being Pseudomonas aeruginosa (38.9%). With dexamethasone, the clinical response for ciprofloxacin and tobramycin increased from 80% to 90% and from 70% to 75%, respectively, but this improvement was not significant (p > 0.03). Addition of dexamethasone to ciprofloxacin decreased the recovery period from 14 days to seven days, whereas no change (7 days) was observed with tobramycin. CONCLUSION:
