Diffuse inflammation of the external auditory canal – diffuse otitis externa (DOE) is a fairly common ear disease (1, 2). It is faced by both otolaryngologists and general practitioners. Etiological factors can be various: aerobic, anaerobic flora, fungi. Sometimes DOE occurs on the background of atopic dermatitis (AD) in children. AD is associated with increased bacterial colonization and skin infection. The disease has bilateral localization, recurrence and depends on the exacerbation of atopic dermatitis. Bacterial cultures of secretions show a constant change of flora, depending on the treatment. We examined and treated 2 patients with combined pathology. In both cases, treatment with local combination drugs. Therefore, timely diagnosis of this type of diffuse otitis externa on the background of atopic dermatitis allows for adequate therapy.
