Otitis externa and myringitis due to demodicidosis.

E E Klemm, G G Haroske, and U U Wollina

Acta Dermatovenerol Alp Panonica Adriat 18(2):73-6 (2009) PMID 19588062

We report on an 84-year-old woman with chronic pruritic otitis externa and myringitis. Microbiological and mycological investigations failed to establish the cause, but histology revealed a large amount of Demodex mites. Topical treatment for this ectoparasite resulted in a complete remission. The myringitis was eventually treated successfully with myringoplasty. To the best of our knowledge this is the first case report on Demodex-induced otitis externa and myringitis.
