Description

This image illustrates otomycosis caused by Candida albicans, a fungal infection of the ear canal. The visualization highlights the presence of whitish, creamy fungal growth alongside swelling and irritation of the ear tissue. This condition typically causes itching, discomfort, and sometimes discharge, often seen in individuals with weakened immune systems or prolonged antibiotic use. The image is beneficial for ENT specialists and healthcare professionals to identify and differentiate Candida infections from other ear conditions, helping in the diagnosis and treatment of otomycosis.
