Medical management of chronic suppurative otitis media without cholesteatoma in children was shown recently to be efficacious. We undertook a prospective study in order to determine 1) the organisms associated with the disease and their sensitivity to various antibiotics and 2) their association with clinical variables. Pseudomonas was isolated from 84% of the patients, enteric gram-negative bacilli from 32%, Staphylococcus aureus from 20%, streptococci from 14%, and Hemophilus influenzae from 15%. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the sole isolate in 48 of the 128 patients (38%). The sensitivity of P aeruginosa (78 isolates) was 100% (of isolates) to mezlocillin and ciprofloxacin, 99% to tobramycin and ceftazidime, 97% to piperacillin, 94% to gentamicin, and 78% to ceftriaxone. The isolated organisms and their sensitivity to antibiotics were not associated with age, sex, duration of otorrhea, or the presence of granulation tissue or polyps. We believe that our data may contribute to the appropriate choice of antibiotics when nonsurgical management of chronic suppurative otitis media without cholesteatoma is considered.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is one of the most common ear diseases in developing countries with a varying incidence of 3% to 57%. It the disease process is further divided into mucosal type and squamosal type depending on clinical presentation. The mainstay of therapy in CSOM remains surgery which aims at eradication of disease and restoring the hearing mechanism. The main objective of our study was to evaluate the changes and impact of tympanoplasty with mastoidectomy as a surgical treatment modality in mucosal type of CSOM.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> A prospective study was conducted in Rajarajeshwari Medical College and Hospital between November 2015 and June 2017, involving 50 patients with mucosal type of chronic otitis media. These patients, after complete clinical examination and hearing analysis, underwent tympanoplasty with cortical mastoidectomy. Follow-up of the patients was done at one month and three months after the surgery where the parameters recorded preoperatively were assessed.  </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> The graft uptake three months after the surgery was 94%. Patients reported a subjective improvement in symptoms of ear discharge, decreased hearing, earache and tinnitus to 94%, 70%, 86% and 78% respectively. There was hearing improvement in ears that had discharge preoperatively and those ears that did not.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Chronic suppurative otitis media is a very common problem and it can lead to recurrent ear discharge and hearing problems. Timely intervention is necessary as early diagnosis results in good surgical outcomes and can make an impact on patient’s quality of life.</p>

Background: Prior to surgical management of chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) for the dry ear medical management is necessary. CSOM is a biofilm disease and due to this has antibiotic resistance. The pillar of its treatment included aural cleaning according to standard protocols, application of topical germ free antiseptic and use of antimicrobials. Acetic acid due to its ability in reducing the pH may be effective in reducing the growth of microorganisms. Objective: The aim of the study was to compare the efficacy of irrigation with acetic acid versus systemic antibiotics in CSOM patients. Materials & Methods: A total of 134 patients, who came to the ENT department of Sheikh Zayed Hospital, Lahore between 1st April 2020 to 30th September 2020, who had CSOM, of age 15 to 55 years and both genders were included in the study. The patients were divided randomly into two groups. Group A patients received aural toilets and irrigation with acetic acid and Group B received 500 mg of ciprofloxacin twice a day for 2 weeks. Results: The mean age (in years) of the patients in Group A was 37.45±7.32 and in Group B, it was 37.96±7.57. The efficacy of irrigation with acetic acid versus systemic antibiotics was 89.55% and 68.66% respectively and this difference between the two groups was found to be statistically significant (p=0.003). Conclusion: Irrigation with acetic acid was better than systemic antibiotics in managing patients with CSOM. Key words: Acetic acid, CSOM, Middle ear
