Malignant otitis externa due to Staphylococcus infection.
A case of malignant otitis externa occurring in a fit 25-year-old non-diabetic male is reported. The clinical and histological findings support this diagnosis but neither identification nor culture of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was made and the condition was bilateral. The only pathogen identified was Staphylococcus aureus which has been reported in only two previous cases.
