Abstract:
A study was carried out to investigate the presence of mites in human ear in 58
patients (113 ears). Ear scrapings were examined under the microscope by a parasitologist
for the presence of house dust mites. Results showed the presence of house dust mites in 8
(7.1%) ears. We can conclude that mites are normal commensals of the external ears in
tropical countries.
