Abstract

Introduction: SEROUS OTITIS MEDIA (SOM) is a common disease of childhood with different etiology. However, in a significant number of cases, bacteriological cultures are negative. There are many similarities between middle ear cavity and paranasal sinuses. Fungi are known as main causes of sinusitis. This research was conducted in order to find any evidence of fungal presence in middle ear cavity.Materials & Methods: 74 patients with SEROUS OTITIS MEDIA admitted in Rasht Amiralmomenin Hospital from Dec 2004 to Dec 2005 were sequentially studied. Following cleaning cerumen of external ear canal and disinfection with betadin for 1 minute, an anterior inferior myringotomy was performed. Middle ear fluid was aspirated and collected in sterile saline. Adenoid tissue was also collected following adenoidectomy and collected in separate sterile saline. Both specimens were transferred to a reference mycology laboratory in ice box in less than 5 hours.Findings: 100 specimens of middle ear fluid and 74 specimens of adenoid tissue were mycologicaly investigated. Fungi were isolated from 6 specimens of adenoid tissues and 10 specimens of middle ear fluid. Only one of them was Fusarium sp. and the rest were different species of Aspergillus with predominance of Aspergillus fumigatus.Conclusion: Fungal elements were seen in 10 percent of MIDDLE EAR EFFUSIONs. An allergic response to fungi may be responsible for persistent SEROUS OTITIS MEDIA.
