AbstractMalignant external otitis is classically associated with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus probably due to generalized systemic immunodeficiency (Mowet and Baum, 1971). A unique case of malignant external otitis associated with Waldenstrom's macroglobulinaemia is presented.

Malignant externa otitis is a potentially fatal disease in diabetic and other immunocompromised patients. Cerumen contains defense properties that protect the patient against infection. We tested the hypothesis that patients with diabetes mellitus have abnormalities in their cerumen that affect the environment of their external auditory canals and may predispose them to malignant externa otitis.

Neurologic Sequelae

Malignant external otitis (MEO) is a severe variant of external otitis. As originally described by Chandler1 in 1968, MEO is an infection of the external ear canal, usually due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which is associated with systemic invasion, significant neurologic sequelae, and a high mortality rate. The vast majority of cases have occurred in elderly adults with diabetes mellitus. We present a case of MEO occurring in a 6-year-old child and have compared the findings in our case with those in the adult literature. CASE REPORT A previously well 6-year-old boy developed otitis media one month prior to admission which was treated with 5 ml of trimethoprim-sulfamethazole orally twice a day (3 mg of trimethoprim per kilogram of body weight per day).

AbstractTen cases of malignant external otitis in children have been reported hitherto. These are reviewed, and an eleventh case, a three-month-old infant associated with genetic granulocytopenia, is presented. On the grounds of the reported paediatric cases, the erudition in childhood is compared with the more common form in the adult, and is found to be much less linked with diabetes mellitus and to have a far better prognosis, with practically no mortality.

UNSTRUCTURED Background: This is an outpatient case study that examines two patients in the United States with unique cases that involve oncology, hypertension, Type II Diabetes Mellitus, and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), also known as COVID-19. This case study involves two patients in the outpatient setting - treated via telemedicine, with laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection in the West Texas region between March 29th, 2020, and May 14th, 2020. Case Report: The first patient is a 63-year-old female, non-smoker, who is diagnosed with Waldenstrom’s Macroglobulinemia (2012) and Primary Cutaneous Marginal Zone Lymphoma (2020) and the second patient is a 38-year-old male, non-smoker, who has the following comorbidities: Type II Diabetes Mellitus (DM), hypertension, and gout. Both patients were empirically started on budesonide 0.5mg nebulizer twice daily, clarithromycin (Biaxin) 500mg tab twice daily for ten days, Zinc 50mg tab twice daily, and aspirin 81mg tab daily. Both patients have fully recovered with no residual effects. Conclusion: The goal is to call attention to the success of proactive, early empirical treatment, combining a classic corticosteroid (budesonide) administered via a nebulizer and an oral macrolide antibiotic known as clarithromycin (Biaxin).

Chronic disease burdens continue to rise in highly dense urban environments where clustering of type II diabetes mellitus, acute myocardial infarction, stroke, or any combination of these three conditions is occurring. Many individuals suffering from these conditions will require longer-term care and access to clinics which specialize in managing their illness. With Singapore as a case study, we utilized census data in an agent-modeling approach at an individual level to estimate prevalence in 2020 and found high-risk clusters with >14,000 type II diabetes mellitus cases and 2000–2500 estimated stroke cases. For comorbidities, 10% of those with type II diabetes mellitus had a past acute myocardial infarction episode, while 6% had a past stroke. The western region of Singapore had the highest number of high-risk individuals at 173,000 with at least one chronic condition, followed by the east at 169,000 and the north with the least at 137,000. Such estimates can assist in healthcare resource planning, which requires these spatial distributions for evidence-based policymaking and to investigate why such heterogeneities exist. The methodologies presented can be utilized within any urban setting where census data exists.
