METHOD:

We evaluated the clinical and mycological aspects of otomycosis in 38 patients from March 1996 to February 1998 in Dongguk University Hospital. RESULTS AND

CONCLUSION:

Otomycosis showed high incidence in the twenties (23.7%). The ratio of male to female patient was 11.5. The seasonal prevalence was highest in autumn. Most common symptoms were otorrhea (39.4%) followed by itching, obstruction sensation, otalgia, and hearing disturbance. The common causative organisms of otomycosis were Aspergillus(A.) niger (36.8%) followed by A. terreus (26.3%), A. flavus (21.1%), A. fumigatus (7.9%), Candida albicans (5.3%), and Mucor sp. (2.6%).
