Abstract

Acute otitis externa is an inflammatory condition that causes a negative effect in patients. It is known that fibroblast growth factor participates in the pathophysiology of otitis externa through its pro-inflammatory and pain activities. In anterior studies we have demonstrated that etamsylate, an inhibitor of fibroblast growth factor, showed marked anti-inflammatory and anti-pain activities. The present report demonstrates that etamsylate ear drops application is effective in reducing symptoms and signs in patients with acute otitis externa.
