Introduction: Tuberculous otomastoiditis is a rare and serious infection that most often occurs in association with pulmonary involvement. It is easy to diagnose when the two pathologies are associated and isolated. We herein report the case of a patient initially hospitalized for Pseudomonas aeruginosa necrotising otitis externa (NOE), which delayed the diagnosis of tuberculous otomastoiditis.

Introduction: Environmental changes and modifications in leisure habits have facilitated the emergence of new bacteria responsible for causing ear infections with different presentations. In this context, Turicella otitidis is a pathogen for which isolated cases of external and middle ear infections have been reported. However, our experience indicates a resurgence in its occurrence in recent years.

Streptococcus pneumoniae is the main pathogen that plays a dual role, on the one hand as an asymptomatic carrier in the nasopharyngeal mucosa and on the other hand directly responsible for triggering invasive pneumococcal infections with various important localizations, especially in the pediatric population. Thus, invasive pneumococcal infections represent one of the main causes of mortality and morbidity in children under 5 years of age. Immunization is a key preventive measure against these infections.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze the ear canal microflora in patients with chronic bacterial otitis externa compared to healthy individuals.
- Using 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing, researchers collected and sequenced ear canal samples from 14 patients (CB group) and 14 healthy controls (H group).
- Results indicated that the CB group had significantly lower microflora diversity and richness, with notable differences in specific bacterial phyla and genera, as well as functional predictions suggesting potential links to amino acid biosynthesis and lower aerobic characteristics in the affected group.

Article Synopsis
- Global temperature rise is a significant health issue, and previous research mainly relied on hospital data to assess its effects on health.
- This study focused on the relationship between ambient temperature and various heat-related medical conditions using data from general practitioners in Flanders, Belgium, collected over eight years (2012-2019).
- The results indicated a J-shaped association between heat and health outcomes, with higher risks for certain conditions like skin problems and urinary infections at elevated temperatures, particularly at minimum temperature thresholds.
