Fungal infections of the external auditory canal can pose a great clinical challenge both in diagnosis and in therapy. Most infections present in patients who have undergone previous medical treatment of the external canal, which has changed the pH and normal canal flora, or in those who have diminished capacity for resisting infections. Diagnosis is made by clinical inspection and selective cultures. Therapy consists of complete cleaning followed by use of topical antimycotic agents. Systemic therapy is rarely required.
外耳道真菌感染在诊断和治疗方面都可能带来巨大的临床挑战。大多数感染发生在曾接受过外耳道药物治疗从而改变了pH值和正常耳道菌群的患者中，或者发生在抗感染能力下降的患者中。诊断依靠临床检查和选择性培养。治疗包括彻底清洗，随后使用局部抗真菌药。很少需要全身治疗。
