Abstract

Acute otitis externa is primarily a disease of children older than 2 years. It is characterized by rapid onset of signs and symptoms of external ear canal inflammation. We report a case of acute otitis externa in a 29-day-old, term, otherwise healthy neonate. Swab cultures revealed growth of methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus colonies. She was successfully treated with parenteral cloxacillin and had no complication and recurrence. No cases of neonatal acute otitis externa have been previously reported. © 2016 Elsevier Ltd
