[Use of a chlorhexidine-fuchsin solution for ear, nose and throat diseases].
Castellani's solution can no longer be used for medication due to the critical status of its ingredients. A solution of chlorhexidine and fuchsin is proposed as an alternative. This has good antimicrobial effectiveness and can be used in difficult cases of otitis externa solution for the treatment of cavities after mastoidectomy. The literature indicates that the use of this solution is admissible for selected cases in the field of ear, nose and throat diseases.
