| Abstrakt: | To describe a case of a recurrent Candida tropicalis otitis externa, media and interna in a dog with an ear polyp. A 9-year-old Irish Setter was presented with 2 episodes of otitis sinistra, left-sided vestibular syndrome and Horner syndrome 7 months apart. At the first episode a benign ear polyp was extracted and Candida tropicalis cultured from the left middle ear. The neurological signs disappeared within 7 days, the Candida infection was more difficult to treat. Seven months later, a polyp was found in the ear again and cytology was consistent with Candida tropicalis . A unilateral left total ear canal ablation with lateral bulla osteotomy was performed and a middle ear culture confirmed Candida tropicalis . Treatment led to resolution of clinical signs. Candida tropicalis , an emerging pathogen, should be considered in cases of recurrent yeast otitis and may be difficult to treat. Competing Interests: The authors confirm that they do not have any conflict of interest. (Thieme. All rights reserved.) |
