Abstract
Objective: To provide the first description of intratympanic bacteriophage therapy for chronic mastoiditis from multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the United States.
Patients: A 47-year-old woman with chronic mastoiditis in the setting of ciliary dysfunction from cystic fibrosis and immunosuppression from lung transplantation.
Interventions: Ten concurrent parenteral and intratympanic doses of two custom phages targeting P. aeruginosa followed by IV antibiotic therapy.
Main outcome measures: Resolution of infection confirmed by symptomatology, cultures, and imaging.
Results: At 5 months after phage treatment, the patient reported resolution of otorrhea, headaches, and hearing impairment. Subsequent cultures showed no growth.
Conclusions: Bacteriophages can enhance antibiotic activity in cases of drug-resistant chronic mastoiditis.
