Chronic suppurative otitis media is major health problem seen frequently in the ENT clinics in Nigeria and the outcome of most medical management in the past have been disappointing. A comparative randomised clinical trial involving combination therapies with systemic clindamycin, metronidazole, lincomycin, each with gentamicin, was conducted on a total of 14 patients. At the end of one week, and three-week, follow-up end points the clinical response with bacteriological cure were, for clindamycin and gentamicin 21%, metronidazole and gentamicin 33%, lincomycin and gentamicin 22%, and the control (aural toilet alone) 14%. However, when the clinical response was measured only by the ceasation of discharge, the outcome was more impressive. By this assessment the clinical response with clindamycin and gentamicin was 52% of the 140 patients, metronidazole and gentamicin 69%, lincomycin and gentamicin 47%, and the control 24%. The metronidazole and gentamicin regime was significantly more effective than the other regimes and it is suggested for use in prophylactic treatment of CSOM patients undergoing surgical procedures.
