In view of the lack of researches on otomycosis in Brazil, we have tried to study their incidence, their clinical characteristics and the predispondent factors. During one year, 22 suspected cases were seen, 20 of them corresponded to otomycosis infections. The most frequent species were Aspergillus niger (35%) and Candida albicans (20%). The genus Aspergillus represented 75% of the isolates. Itching and hyperaemia (70%), otalgia (65%), hipoacusia (50%) were the commonest signs. Lack of cerumen (70%) chronic otitis (30%) previous antibiotic therapy and eczema (25%) were the most outstanding predispondent factors.
鉴于巴西对耳霉菌病的研究匮乏，我们试图研究其发病率、临床特征及诱发因素。在一年时间里，共接诊22例疑似病例，其中20例确诊为耳霉菌病感染。最常见的菌种是黑曲霉（35%）和白色念珠菌（20%）。曲霉属占分离菌株的75%。瘙痒和充血（70%）、耳痛（65%）、听力减退（50%）是最常见的症状。耵聍缺失（70%）、慢性中耳炎（30%）、既往抗生素治疗史和湿疹（25%）是最显著的诱发因素。
