OBJECTIVE
To compare infrared thermometry with rectal thermometry as a method of assessing core body temperature in dogs and to assess the effect of otitis externa on external ear canal temperature (EECT).
METHODS
Prospective study.
METHODS
650 dogs without history or clinical signs of otitis
BACKGROUND
Lemierre's syndrome, which affects previously healthy, young adults, is a rare complication secondary to infections in the head and neck that result in septic thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein.
METHODS
This paper reports a case of a young, healthy female with malignant otitis
Staphylococcal scarlet fever (SSF) is characterized by an exanthem without enanthem, bullae, or exfoliation, and is known to be related to Staphylococcus aureus toxins, especially superantigens. It has been reported in children and young adults. Herein, we report the first case of an elderly patient
Acute invasive external otitis is an uncommon life-threatening infection of the external auditory canal (EAC), most often affecting the elderly diabetic patients. Although few reports have been made in HIV-positive/Aids patients among the caucasians. We present here a 25 year old nursing mother with
We present a case of C1/C2 osteomyelitis secondary to malignant otitis externa complicated by atlantoaxial subluxation. This case is unique because surgical fixation of the spine was delayed, and despite clearance of the infection with antibiotics, the patient developed cervical myelopathy and

BACKGROUND
Acute otitis externa is an inflammation of the external auditory canal known as "swimmer's ear". Direct costs including medical treatment, painkillers, antibiotics, steroids or both and indirect costs are also remarkable.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to compare the effect of boric
BACKGROUND
Septic thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein, known as Lemierre syndrome, is a rare disorder usually caused by Fusobacterium necrophorum, a Gram-negative anaerobic organism that normally inhabits the oropharynx. Lemierre syndrome usually follows primary oropharyngeal infections
BACKGROUND
Though rarely mentioned in the ENT literature, the "ear thermometer" has become more and more popular in recent years, not only in hospitals but also in households. These instruments are easy to use, and their infrared technology is said to provide precise measurements. The purpose of
A two year old child presented with a history of cyclic fever since the sixth week of life, and otorrhea of six weeks' duration, unresponsive to treatment. Surgical removal of massive granulation tissue and sequestrated bone, combined with parenteral administration of pipellacillin and dibekacin
BACKGROUND
Systemic autoinflammatory diseases (SAIDs) represent a growing number of monogenic, polygenic or multifactorial disorders that are often difficult to diagnose.
METHODS
Here we report a patient who was initially erroneously diagnosed and treated for SAID. Symptoms consisted of recurrent
In summer 2010-2011 two outbreaks of Pseudomonas foliculitis occurred among bathers who used the swimming pools or whirlpools in two guest-room sites. The source of the infection was traced to the swimming pools or whirlpools, which had not been chlorinated and monitored routinely. Of 40 bathers, 25
A 30-year-old Vietnamese patient is reported who was admitted with a resistant acute otitis externa, and who complained also of headache and fever. The symptoms were found to be caused by the intracranial complications (epidural abscess and bacterial meningitis) of an aural cholesteatoma. A
BACKGROUND
Foreign bodies in the external ear canal present a frequent situation in pediatric practice. It is generally benign, but infectious complications may occur.
METHODS
Between January 1996 and March 1997, 35 children with a foreign body in the ear canal were treated in the ENT department of
