Abstract ObjectiveThis study was designed to find out the fungal aetiological agents in chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) patients attending tertiary care centre of Nepal. ResultTotal 123 samples of 117 patients, outdoor as well as indoor from Department of ENT and Head and Neck Surgery (HNS) TUTH, Maharajgunj, Kathmandu those specimens were processed and among them, 23(18.7%) was found potassium hydroxide (KOH) mount positive whereas positive growth was in 27 specimens. The prevalence rate of fungus was 21.95 percent in which the main pathogen was Aspergillus species (51.8%), followed by Candida species (14.8 %). Keywords: CSOM, KOH, Fungal culture, Aspergillus
