ABSTRACT
Abstract: Malignant otitis externa is an infection of the skin and soft tissue of the ear canal, spreading to the nearby structures. It causes severe otalgia and otorrhea, and can lead to ominous consequences such as cranial nerve damage and meningitis. The main etiologic agent is Pseudomonas aeruginosa and treatment relies on broad-spectrum intravenous antibiotics. We report a rare case of a woman suffering from Malignant otitis externa caused by Acinetobacter baumannii and requiring the use of colistin.
