DOI: https://doi.org/Otomycosis is a prevalent superficial fungal infection that affects the external auditory canal (EAC). The most common causative agents of otomycosis are moulds of the genus Aspergillus and yeasts of the genus Candida, particularly the Aspergillus niger complex and Candida albicans[2]
Otomycosis is typically associated with various symptoms, including itching, otorrhea, ear pain, and ear blockage. The diagnosis of otomycosis is primarily based on the patient’s history, clinical presentation, and otoscopic examination of the ear canal and eardrum. However, additional tests, such as microbiological analysis, may be necessary to confirm the diagnosis[1]
