Abstract
Five patients all in their seventh or eighth decade, suffering from external otitis due to Pseudo-monas aeruginosa are described, four men and one woman. Concomitant diabetes was observed in two. Four patients recovered following systemic antibiotic therapy and limited local excision, and one died in spite of a similar treatment schedule. His cardiovascular system showed few signs of aging and he had no diabetes. The invasive nature of this entity is stressed. Its causative background appears enigmatic.Keywords
