Acute external ear infection (Swimmer’s ear or Tropical ear) is a diffuse inflammation of the external ear canal that may also involve the auricle or tympanic membrane. AOE is one of the most common infections encountered by physicians. The annual incidence of AOE in the general population is between 1:100 and 1:250, and the lifetime incidence is up to 10%.
The diagnosis of disseminated AOE is established by the rapid onset (usually within 48 hours) within the past 3 weeks, accompanied by symptoms of inflammation of the ear canal such as often severe ear pain, itching or a feeling of fullness in the ear with or without hearing loss or jaw pain, and signs of inflammation of the ear canal such as tenderness of the tragus, earlobe, or both, diffuse edema of the ear canal, erythema or both with or without discharge from the ear, regional lymphadenitis, erythema of the tympanic membrane, or cellulitis of the earlobe and adjacent skin. Hallmark symptoms of disseminated AOE; Tenderness of the auricle, auricle, or both is often severe and disproportionate to the clinical picture. Diagnosis is based on clinical presentation alone, although in refractory cases, microbial evidence is also examined. Common pathogens in AOE include Pseudomonas aeruginosa (50%), Staphylococcus aureus (23%), anaerobic and gram-negative organisms (12.5%), and fungi (12.5%).
The inhibitory effects of essential oils of clove, lavender, and geranium on isolated strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa have been investigated. The major constituents of these essential oils were eugenol (0-80%), 1-8-cineole (13%), and citronellol (45%), respectively. Clove essential oil was the most effective essential oil against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and the combination of these essential oils at a ratio of 3:1:1 showed the highest inhibitory effect (32-64 μg/ml) and a strong synergistic effect with gentamicin.
