- Otomycosis is sporadic and caused by a wide variety of fungi, most of which are saprobes occurring in diverse types of environmental material. An analysis of the age group revealed that otomycosis can affect any age from one year through 80 years. But the incidence was found to be low below 10 years and above 50 years.

onychomycosis Onychomycosis is caused by three types of fungi, called dermatophytes, yeasts, and nondermatophyte molds. Fungi are simple parasitic plant organisms that do not need sunlight to grow. Toenails are especially susceptible because fungi prefer dark damp places.

Ear Infection Ear infections happen in the middle ear. They are caused by a bacterial or viral infection. The infection creates pressure in the small space between the eardrum and the back of the throat. This area is called the Eustachian tube.

- Less common causes. A less common cause for ear discharge is malignant otitis externa, a complication of swimmer’s ear that causes damage to the cartilage and bones in the base of the skull.

- Although these factors are often the cause of ear infections, there also may be an underlying reason for a recurring problem. In fact, an allergic reaction or a hypersensitivity to a variety of molds, pollens and foods may be the underlying cause of excessive mucus production and subsequent ear infections. Some foods that commonly cause allergic reactions include: Milk, Eggs, Soy, Wheat and Corn. Therefore, one of the best ways to discover the underlying cause of the infections is to evaluate the history of possible pollen and mold allergies, as well as foods ingested more than twice a week. A recent patient is a clear example of how effective the determination of allergies can be in eliminating a child's recurrent ear infections.

Labyrinthitis The cause of labyrinthitis is not clear. Labyrinthitis can happen after a viral infection or, more rarely, after an infection caused by bacteria. It is often triggered by an upper respiratory infection, such as the flu or a cold. Less often, it may start after a middle ear infection. The infection inflames the vestibular nerve.

Ear infection (Otitis media) Causes of otitis media. The Eustachian tube connects the ear to the back of the throat and helps ventilate (air) and drain the middle ear. Otitis media occurs when mucus or swollen tissues from a cold block the Eustachian tube. The blockage has two main results. 1  It prevents the tube from ventilating the middle ear.

Risk factors for otitis externa include: 1  Moisture trapped in the ear canal.2  The condition commonly called swimmer's ear can occur after swimming, bathing, or hot humid weather. 3  Bacteria that cause the infection are able to grow and multiply easily in the warm, dark, moist environment.4  Minor injury or scrape to the ear canal skin. 5  This usually ...ess commonly, otitis externa can occur after otitis media with a ruptured ear drum.

Middle Ear Infection (Otitis Media) There are a number of reasons why children get middle ear infections. They often stem from a prior infection of the respiratory tract that spreads to the ears. When the tube that connects the middle ear to the pharynx (Eustachian tube) is blocked, fluid will collect behind the eardrum.

Fungus in the Ear â Otomycosis Otomycosis most often occurs when too much water gets in the ear canal such as after swimming or showering in chlorinated water. It is also called Swimmers ear or Singapore ear. It is easier for germs and fungus to grow when water removes the protective ear wax. Too much cleaning your ears can have the same effect.

Middle Ear Infection (Chronic Otitis Media) and Hearing Loss Otitis media refers to inflammation of the middle ear. Acute otitis media occurs when a cold, allergy, or upper respiratory infection, and the presence of bacteria or viruses lead to the accumulation of pus and mucus behind the eardrum, blocking the Eustachian tube. This causes earache and swelling. When fluid forms in the middle ear, the condition is known as otitis media with effusion.. This occurs in a recovering ear infection or when one is about to occur. Fluid can remain in the ear for weeks to many months.
