Otitis Externa. Otitis externa (OE), also known as “swimmer's ear” or “tropical ear,” is an infection or inflammation of the external ear canal. It is caused by a break in the skin in the external ear canal and changes in the canal environment leading to increased moisture and transition from an acidic to a basic pH.

Acute otitis externa is a common condition involving inflammation of the ear canal. The acute form is caused primarily by bacterial infection, with Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus the most common pathogens.
Otitis externa is a condition that causes inflammation (redness and swelling) of the external ear canal, which is the tube between the outer ear and eardrum. Otitis externa is often referred to as "swimmer's ear" because repeated exposure to water can make the ear canal more vulnerable to inflammation.
Its different forms include acute diffuse otitis externa, circumscribed otitis externa, chronic otitis externa, and malignant (i.e., necrotizing) otitis externa.
Unilateral otitis externa may suggest the presence of an underlying foreign body or neoplasia, although bilateral involvement with these causes is possible, and unilateral involvement can occur with symmetric disorders such as allergic dermatitis and ceruminous gland hyperplasia.
External otitis is an acute infection of the ear canal skin typically caused by bacteria (Pseudomonas is most common). Symptoms include pain, discharge, and hearing loss if the ear canal has swollen shut; manipulation of the auricle causes pain.

It also occurs in many other species. Inflammation of the skin of the ear canal is the essence of this disorder. The inflammation can be secondary to dermatitis (eczema) only, with no microbial infection, or it can be caused by active bacterial or fungal infection.

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code H60.03 and a single ICD9 code, 380.10 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
