摘要：

Otoacariasis is the presence of ticks and mites in the auditory canal. A 50-year-old Iranian man was subjected at the an ear, nose, and throat clinic at Rouhani Hospital in Babol with complaint of left ear pain. Otoscopic examination showed mite infestation in the left auditory canal. The infestation was eradicated with the 2% H2O2 solution. Treatment began by applying oral ciprofloxacin (500 mg/day) twice daily for 7 d. We report the rare case of an ear canal infestation with the Rhizoglyphus and their eradication with 2% H2O2 solution.
