ABSTRACT:Otomycosis is a fungal infection of External auditory canal. Otomycosis has worldwide distribution with high prevalence in hot, humid and dusty climates of tropical and subtropical regions. Management of Otomycosis is dependent on thorough understanding of anatomy of external ear canal, knowledge of microbiology and pathophysiology of potential pathogens. OBJECTIVES: To determine importance of various aetio-pathological factors in causation of Otomycosis. To study pattern of fungal isolates encountered in cases of Otomycosis. To study management of the disease.
