【 摘 要 】
Background: In Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media (CSOM), the spread of micro organisms to adjacent structures can result in a broad range of intracranial and extracranial complications.Objectives: To study the microbiological profile of Chronic Suppurative Otitis MediaMaterials & Methods: Ear swabs were collected & cultured from 200 patients with purulent discharge from perforated tympanic membranes attending the ENT clinic. The organisms isolated were identified by standard microbiological methods & antibiogram pattern was determined.Results: The most common organism isolated was Pseudomonas aeruginosa [83 (41.5%)] followed by Staphylococcus aureus [60 (30%)]. Most of the isolates (90%) in our study were sensitive to AmikacinConclusion: The knowledge of the local pattern of infection is essential for starting empirical therapy & reducing the potential risks of complications.
