title: [Mycoses in otorhinolaryngology. Apropos of 167 cases].
abstract: The authors observed 167 cases of E.N.T. mycoses over a 14-year period (1974-1988) in the E.N.T. Departments of the Abidjan University Hospitals in the Ivory Coast, and in two private health institutions in the city. The majority of cases involve candidiasis (91 cases, or 54.5%), followed by aspergillosis (72 cases, 43.1%) and rhinoentomophtorosis (4 cases, 2.4%). Men are more affected than women (125 as against 42). Men suffering from rhinoentomophtorosis are, for the most part, farmers. Among the contributory factors, we found respectively the abuse of antibiotics, either alone or in association with corticoids for general or local use (ear drops), bathing in lagoons, and diabetes. Bacterial infection is often associated with these mycoses--mainly streptococci and staphylococci aurei. Clinical signs are dominated by pruritus, dull pains, a feeling of fullness in the ear, or of burning in the pharynx. An association of systemic Miconazole and Amphotericin B (local use) has given the best results for candidiasis and aspergillosis. For rhinoentomophtorosis, treatment was long, and even disappointing, until the use of Ketoconazole which may without doubt be considered as the medicament of choice.
