Article Synopsis
- Malignant otitis externa (MOE) is a rare but serious infection of the external ear, often seen in elderly individuals with diabetes.
- A study reviewed 15 cases of MOE, finding that earache was the most common symptom, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the main infection culprit.
- Most patients were successfully treated with intravenous antibiotics, with surgery reserved for specific cases involving granulation tissue.
