Otomycosis in Burma, and its Treatment

Khin Mya Than, Kyaw Soe Naing AND Myo Min
National Health Laboratory and Ear, Nose and Throat Hospital, Rangoon, Burma

Otomycosis of the auditory canal is common in Burma. Of 346 cases of otitis externa seen in a hospital outpatient clinic during two consecutive rainy seasons, 189 were due to fungus infection. Aspergillus species were the fungi isolated most frequently. Infection was most commonly due to self-manipulation. Itching and tinnitus were common complaints. Treatment by local cleansing and application of antifungal agents was effective, 10% 5-fluorocytosine ointment being most successful.

Accepted for publication September 8, 1979.
