Abstract |
We studied 126 cases of otitis externa among the population of a British forces base in Cyprus during one season. The causes of infection, the infective agents involved and the treatment of the observed cases in general practice are discussed. The patients were treated with either antibiotic/ steroid ear drops (; Otosporin') or with aluminium acetate ear drops. We found no significant difference between the two.
