    Author: Williams SP, Curnow TL, Almeyda R.
    Journal: B-ENT; 2014; 10(2):99-104. PubMed ID: 25090807.
    Abstract:
    Necrotising otitis externa is an uncommon and aggressive infection of the external auditory canal with a tendency to present in the elderly and immunocompromised patient. We report a series of twenty-five patients admitted to our institution over a four-year period with this diagnosis. We review the diagnosis and antimicrobial management of these cases, and propose a treatment algorithm based on our experience.
