Abstract
A case of chronic suppurative otitis media is described in a patient with a chronic cold and cough. The presenting symptoms were otorrhoea, perforation of the tympanic membrane and granulation in the air cells of the left mastoid cavity. X-ray showed sclerotic mastoid and partial cellular obliteration. Histologic sections revealed aggregated fungal masses, filamentous hyphae and single-celled structures of Paecilomyces variotii. The infection responded to topical ketoconazole therapy. This is the first reported case of chronic suppurative otitis media caused by P. variotii.
