“…Multiple oral, topical, and intravenous agents and even radiation have been recommended for the management of this disease. 16–24 Many of these treatments have proven to be ineffective, unsafe, or both. For example, thimerosal (Merthiolate) has been reported to be effective 25 but contains mercury.…”

Extrapolating from guinea pigs to humans requires caution. However, it is likely that guinea pigs are, if anything, more susceptible to topical ototoxins than are humans. The specific antimycotics clotrimazole, miconazole, and tolnaftate appear to be safe. Gentian violet has the potential for severe damage. The persistent residue left by the nystatin preparation is cause for concern and is a reminder that both the active ingredient and vehicle must be considered in evaluation of safety.

The science of bacteriology, which is so familiar, is of relatively recent origin, while the study of the fungi began centuries ago. The science of the study of the fungi, or mycetes, is known as mycology. The first recorded instance of observation of fungi is that of Hooke, who recorded his study made in 1677. While examining a rose leaf with a hand lens he found that the yellow spots seen grossly were made up of fungi. A few years later, in 1686, Malpighi described a fungus of the genus Mucedo, and Aspergillus was first described by Micheli in 1729.During the remainder of the eighteenth century a number of botanists made a study of fungi, and during that century much progress was made in this science. In the nineteenth century the study of the parasitic fungi of man began to receive prominence. In 1839 Longenbeck discovered the thrush fungus at the autopsy table. Charles Robin left many records of his study of mycology, his book having remained classic. In 1843 he gave the name Oidium albicans to the organism Longenbeck had discovered four years before. Gruby discovered the fungus of ringworm in 1844.In the latter part of the nineteenth century the study of bacteriology came to the front and made such rapid strides that mycology was forced into the background.
