    Author: de Rotalier P, Martini L, Gilles B, Cudennec Y, Buffe P, Allsop J, Scrivener B.
    Journal: Med Trop (Mars); 1987; 47(1):81-4. PubMed ID: 3586974.
    Abstract:
    Otitis externa are of usual observation in inter-tropical regions. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is responsible generally. But, when immunodeficiency is associated or on diabetic diathesis, such an otitis externa can be extremely dangerous: extensive osteitis of the base of the skull, paralysis of the last pairs of cervical nerves rapidly creeping, built a clinical identity called malignant external otitis, leading to death in 50% of the cases.
