RESUMO
Otitis externa is a common disease. The article discusses the anatomical and physiological features of the structure of the outer ear, the epidemiology of otitis externa. Acute inflammation is characterized by the presence of significant microflora, and most often it is preceded by the impact of various physical factors. With chronic inflammation, more changes from the skin are recorded, while the microflora is not always isolated. The authors consider the problem of chronic inflammation of the outer ear. They provide their own data on the etiology of inflammation. Particular attention is paid to local treatment, including their own experience of using the combined drug Candiderm. As a result of the treatment, the skin changes of the external auditory canal were completely resolved in all patients by day 28, the itching in the ears completely stopped after 10-14 days of therapy. Stable remission was achieved in 89% of patients.

AIM: To study the current diagnosis and treatment of fungal inflammation of the external auditory canal in children. This article summarizes the literature on predisposing factors for the occurrence of fungal infections of the external auditory canal in children. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In this study, we present modern approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of external fungal otitis media in children depending on the isolated genus and species of fungus. RESULTS: We established that, according to the study conducted from 2015 to 2017 in the L.I. Sverzhevskiy Clinical Research Institute of Otorhinolaryngology, the incidence of the external fungal otitis media in children is 13,0%. The primary causative agents of fungal inflammation are fungi of the genera Aspergillus, Candida and Geotrichum. CONCLUSION: In the presented study, the rationale for the selected treatment regimen was made based on data obtained during microbiological studies.

The purpose of the work is to study the current state of the problem of diagnosing and treating fungal adenoiditis and tonsillomycosis in children. This article summarizes the literature data on the predisposing factors and characteristics of the occurrence of fungal infections of adenoid vegetations and tonsils in children. The works present modern approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of children with fungal adenoiditis and tonsillomycosis, depending on the selected genus and the type of fungus. Based on the conducted research, performed on the basis of "The Sverzhevskiy Otorhinolaryngology Healthcare Research Institute", we found that the incidence of fungal adenoiditis in children is 16.4%, and the incidence of tonsillomicosis in children with chronic tonsillitis is 21.5%. The most frequently detected strain in this pathology is C. albicans. In the presented study, a justification of the chosen treatment regimen was made on the basis of the data obtained during microbiological (bacteriological and mycological) studies.

This article describes the modern approaches to the diagnostics and treatment of fungoid conditions of the pharynx with special reference to the main methods for the detection of pharyngomycosis and its clinical manifestations based on the results of analysis of the investigations carried out during the period from 2012 till 2016. Among the 3,465 patients presenting with chronic inflammatory pathology of the pharynx who sought medical advice and treatment at the clinical departments of the Institute, 861 ones (25%) were found to have mycotic lesions of the pharynx. Erythematous (atrophic) chronic pharyngitis was the predominant form of the disease documented in 2,059 patients whereas the remaining 1, 406 ones presented with the hypertrophic forms. The fungal infection was diagnosed in 403 (19,5%) patients with erythematous atrophic chronic pharyngitis in comparison with 458 (32,5%) patients suffering from the hypertrophic forms of this pathology including pseudomembranous, hyperplastic (granulomatous), and erosive-ulcerative ones. The principal pathogenic agents responsible for the development of fungal pharyngitis in our patients were fungi of the genus Candida that accounted for 97 - 99% of all the cases of this disease. The currently available modalities for the treatment of pharyngomycosis are described.

This article deals with the modern approaches to the diagnostics and treatment of fungal ear infection depending on the localization of the inflammatory process and the species of the causative fungal agent with special reference to the factors underlying the development of otomycosis under the present-day conditions based on the results of the analysis of the studies carried out during the period from 2010 to 2014. The materials of the examination of 2152 patients who applied for the medical care to various clinical departments of the Institute and were found to present with chronic inflammatory ear pathology were available for the analysis. Fungal lesions were diagnosed in 495 (23%) patients with this condition. Fungal lesions of the external ear were the predominant form of pathology; they were documented in 331 (67%) patients. Fungal otitis media was diagnosed in 85 (17%) patients and fungal lesions of the postoperative cavity in 79 (16%) patients suffering from otomycosis. 65% of the patients presenting with external fungal otitis, 20% of those with fungal otitis media, and 95% of the patients with inflammation of the postoperative cavity were infected with mold fungi dominated by the genus Aspergillus spp. 79 (16%) patients suffering from otomycosis. In 35% of the patients presenting with fungal external otitis, 80% of those with fungal otitis media, and 5% of the patients with inflammation of the postoperative cavity of the middle ear, the causative agents of the disease were the fungi Candida spp. The authors describe the modern schemes for the treatment of otomycosis elaborated at the L.I. Sverzhevskiy Research Institute of Clinical Otorhinolaryngology.

The objective of the present study was the analysis of the current state of the problem of the frequently ill children. The authors present the classification of the frequently ill children together with information concerning the influence of various factors on the incidence of pediatric pathologies with special reference to the major pathogenic agents responsible for the formation of the areas of chronic inflammation in the ENT organs of the children. The approaches to the treatment and rehabilitation of the patients belonging to this age group requiring the follow-up monitoring are considered. It is concluded that the comprehensive strategy is needed for providing the adequate care to such children including specific preventive vaccination, well-timed adequate treatment of acute respiratory conditions, rehabilitative therapy with the use of the adaptogenic substances, the development of resistance to the cold and other unfavourable factors, implementation of the relevant socio-medical programs.
