  • Title: [Significance and problems of pseudomonas infection in ENT medicine].
    Author: Luckhaupt H, Rose KG.
    Journal: HNO; 1985 Dec; 33(12):551-3. PubMed ID: 4086346.
    Abstract:
    Pseudomonas aeruginosa is frequently cultured in chronic otitis media, in external otitis, and from infected radical mastoid cavities. Necrotizing external otitis is a typical infection caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Perichondritis of the external ear is sometimes due to a Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection. Some cases of chronic sinusitis and wound infections in patients with tracheostomy are caused by this organism. Antiseptic agents or astringents should be used for local treatment of Pseudomonas infected ears. If these fail local treatment with azlocillin for several days is a good alternative. Systemic antibiotic therapy is also available for Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections.
