Abstract
Chronic Suppurative Otitis media is one of the major commonest Diseases in E.N.T practice. This study was designed to learn the incidence of chronic suppurative otitis media with reference to age and sex distribution among a South Indian Population. Chronic suppurative otitis media and its possible relationship with certain predisposing factors like tonsillitis, adenoiditis, sinusitis and socio economic status, etiological agent and Antibiogram has been the primary objective. Pus was collected in two cotton swabs as the pus oozing from the middle ear. One was used for smear preparation and another for cultural studies .Of all the 100 ear swabs collected all the ear swabs was found to be culture positive. Of the 100 case of chronic suppurative otitis media, the maximum incidence with regard to age was observed in the first decade of life and then gradually declined. As for sex the cases revealed that males were more commonly affected than females with Chronic Suppurative Otitis. The incidence of tonsilloadenoiditis with 35%., sinusitis (5%) and deflected nasal septum (5%) led to chronic suppurative otitis media. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the leading cause of CSOM. Gentamycin, Kanamycin and streptomycin were the highly sensitive drugs.
