Malignant otitis externa (MEO) is a rare but serious ear disease characterized by tissue destruction of the auricle and\/or the lateral portion of the ear canal, which can lead to significant complications. The disease usually occurs in the elderly and those with a weakened immune response, such as patients with diabetes or those receiving immunosuppressive therapy. The main etiologic factors are infections caused by pseudomonas, staphylococci and other pathogens. The clinical picture includes pain, discharge from the ear, possibly the appearance of fistulas and systemic symptoms such as fever. One of the main goals of clinicians is early diagnosis and adequate treatment of this condition to reduce the risk of serious complications, including meningitis and dissemination of infection to other parts of the body.<\/p>\n
