Abstract

Introduction: Diabetic malignant otitis is a rapidly progressive infection of the external auditory canal, where the process of healing, healing and hospital stay are long, increasing hospital costs, which is why new alternatives are sought to help optimize treatment.

Objective: Determine the usefulness of oleozon in diabetic malignant otitis

Method: A descriptive, prospective and observational study was carried out, with a sample of 48 patients, randomly distributed into 2 groups of 24 patients each, one study with traditional treatment and use of oleozon topically in the external auditory canal and another control group. with conventional treatment.

Results: It was obtained that the predominant clinical manifestations were in the study group: otalgia and otorrhea in 87.5 %, and the presence of granulomas of the external auditory canal 95.8 % and in the control group: otalgia (83.3 %), otorrhea (87.5 %) and granulomas (91.7 %). Finally, in the clinical state at discharge, it was observed that 87.5 % of the patients in the group treated with oleozon were cured at medical discharge, and 79.2 % of the control group with traditional treatment.

Conclusions: Satisfactory results such as early healing and reduction of hospital stay were presented in most of the patients in the study group, so oleozon could be recommended as an additional topical treatment in patients with diabetic malignant otitis.
