- Abstract
The article deals with a case report dealing with contact sensitivity to aluminum acetate eardrops. A 9 year old boy had a 2 year old history of eczema of the external auditory meati. He was congenitally deaf and had worn hearing aids since infancy. He had chronic bilateral discharging otitis media. 5 percent aluminum acetate drops were effective in drying up the secretions for a little while but otitis externa developed and persisted. The use of aluminum acetate eardrops was discontinued and the otitis externa was resolved.
