Cure With Adjunctive Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Jon T. Mader, MD; J. Thom Love, MD

Arch Otolaryngol. 1982;108(1):38-40.

Abstract
• Malignant otitis externa developed in a 55-year-old man with diabetes. This Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection was refractory to high-dose moxalactam disodium therapy, despite sufficient in vitro tube dilution sensitivity results. When adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen therapy was added to the treatment regimen, the infection resolved.
