Considerations on acute otitis externa for its optimized treatment

Abstract Introduction and objectives To evaluate the optimal treatment for diffuse acute otitis externa (DAOE) by means of a new staging system based on clinical and otoscopic findings. Methods Monitoring of otitis cases diagnosed at our centre over the last 21 months (n = 1026), taking into account those who returned for a second visit, either via the emergency room or with a prior appointment. Staging of otitis externa by degree of obstruction of the external auditory canal (EAC): under 25% (type I, n = 174); between 25% and 75% (type II, n = 277); over 75% (type III, n = 359); total obstruction due to organized oedema (type IV, n = 216). Results In most cases at an advanced stage, the ca…
