Studies of the microflora of the external auditory canal should help to clarify the frequent acute diffuse external otitis which may occur in recreational scuba-divers and swimmers during a stay in the tropics. We found that colonisation with facultatively pathogenic microorganisms increased after exposure. Apart from this contamination, indirect factors such as the tropical climate and intensive exposure to water may play an important role in the aetiology of the external otitis. For individual preventive measures, topical application of paraffin-oil before, and an aqueous solution of alcohol and acetic acid after exposure are recommended.
对外耳道微生物群的研究应有助于阐明在热带地区停留期间，休闲水肺潜水者和游泳者中可能频繁发生的急性弥漫性外耳道炎。我们发现，接触后兼性致病微生物的定植增加。除了这种污染外，热带气候和大量接触水等间接因素可能在外耳道炎的病因中起重要作用。对于个人预防措施，建议在接触前局部涂抹石蜡油，接触后涂抹酒精和醋酸的水溶液。
