Abstract

Objectives : Otomycosis is superficial fungal infection of external auditory canal accompanied with itching, pain, discharge, hearing loss, tinnitus and ear fullness. And chronic inflammation like chronic suppurative otitis media exacerbates otomycosis. The purpose of this study is to report one case of Korean medical treatment for otomycosis with chronic suppurative otitis media. Methods : This study was conducted with one case of otomycosis with chronic suppurative otitis media patient hospitalized in Ophthalmology, Otolaryngology & Dermatology Clinic of Korean medical Hospital. This patient was treated with Korean medical treatment including herbal medicine, acupuncture, pharmacopuncture and venesection. After the treatment, we took picture of external auditory canal by otoscope and evaluated subjective symptoms. Results : After the treatment, this patient had improved condition of external auditory canal and subjective symptoms. Conclusions : This study suggests that Korean medical treatment may be effective for otomycosis with chronic suppurative otitis media.

본 연구는 대전대학교 대전한방병원 한방안이비인후 피부과에 만성 화농성 중이염에 동반된 이진균증으로 입원 및 통원 치료를 받은 환자 1례를 보고한다. 본 증례의 환자는 상기 증상으로 한방 단독 치료를 시행한 환자로서 침, 약침, 전침, 뜸, 한약, 사혈, 습식 부항 및 한방 외용제 치료를 시행하였다. 초진 시 호소한 좌측 귀의 소양감, 통증, 이명, 충만감 및 농성 이루는 호전된 상태로 퇴원하였고, 이후 통원 치료를 통하여 잔여 증상의 호전 및 이진균증의 소실도 확인되었다. 본 연구는 이진균증 치료에 일차적으로 적용하는 항진균제의 사용 없이 한방 단독 치료로 호전을 보였다는 점과 항진균 효과를 위해 국소 한방 외용제를 사용하였다는 점에서 이후 이진균증의 한방 치료 효과를 평가하는 추가 연구에 유의미한 자료로 사용될 것으로 사료된다.
