Otitis externa was first identified in 1873 by Adam Politzer, classified and recorded as one of the otological pathologies codified in his otology clinic in Austria. [[Burow's solution]], a therapeutic application of aqueous [[aluminium acetate]], was invented by Karl August Burow in the mid-19th century. [[Antibiotic]] therapy for chronic otitis externa treatment emerged with the invention of mass production of [[penicillin]] in 1940 by Alexander Fleming, Howard Florey, and Ernst Chain. [[Corticosteroid]] therapy to relieve pain and itching from otitis externa emerged with the discovery of the [[glucocorticoid]] [[dexamethasone]] in 1957. The current therapy of "ear drops," or topical application of [[antibiotics]], began to be administered to otitis externa patients in 1987 after the discovery of [[ciprofloxacin]], a [[fluoroquinolone]]-class antibiotic.

Overview

Otitis externa was first identified in 1873 by Adam Politzer, classified and recorded as one of the otological pathologies codified in his otology clinic in Austria. Burow's solution, a therapeutic application of aqueous aluminium acetate, was invented by Karl August Burow in the mid-19th century. Antibiotic therapy for chronic otitis externa treatment emerged with the invention of mass production of penicillin in 1940 by Alexander Fleming, Howard Florey, and Ernst Chain. Corticosteroid therapy to relieve pain and itching from otitis externa emerged with the discovery of the glucocorticoid dexamethasone in 1957. The current therapy of "ear drops," or topical application of antibiotics, began to be administered to otitis externa patients in 1987 after the discovery of ciprofloxacin, a fluoroquinolone-class antibiotic.
