Abstract
External otitis is a group of inflammatory diseases of the external ear (concha of the auricle, acoustical duct and the external layer of the tympanic membrane) of various etiologies. A sufficiently wide prevalence and considerable growth of incidence of the disease, persistent course and high possibility of recurrence on the background of predisposing factors precondition focused attention of otorhinolaryngologists to various aspects of this pathology. Preference at therapy of patients with external otitis is given to drugs with topical action. One of the most effective drugs for therapy of patients with diffuse external otitis are ear drops Sofradex that showed themselves of good account in clinical practice.
