A Study of Csom Tubotympanic Type and Its Microbial Flora in Central India
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
To study the microbial flora and sensitivity pattern from the culture of ear swabs of patients with chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) tubotympanic type attending ENT OPD at Index Medical College, Hospital & Research Centre from January 2016 to December 2016. Patients with ear discharge who were eligible for the study were counseled about their condition and an informed written consent was obtained for the study. At the ENT OPD visit of each patient with tubotympanic type CSOM(central perforation), a pretested proforma was used to record the relevant information of each individual included in the study. The ear discharge was collected with two sterile swabs preventing contact with the external auditory canal from middle ear using a sterilized aural speculum. The specimens were immediately taken to the microbiology test laboratory for culture and sensitivity test. Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas spp. were initiate to be the common cause of CSOM in our investigation, these organisms are found to be less vulnerable to the drugs like ciprofloxacin and cephalosporins. With the improvement and extensive use of antibiotics, the types of pathogenic micro-organisms and their resistance to antibiotics have changed. Hence, Routine use of topical antibiotics for any case of CSOM as pragmatic therapy must be reviewed and judicial use of antibiotics is suggested & advised to acquire the drugs for the complete prescribed interval without stopping in the middle. This will not only facilitate in minimizing the complications, but also help in preventing the emergence of resistant strains.
