Abstract

Abstract: We describe the use of calcium sulfate beads as antibiotic carrier in a patient, who suffered from chronic mastoiditis with consecutive otogenic meningitis due to Burkholderia cenocepacia. Our findings suggest a possible role of calcium sulfate matrix as a local antibiotic carrier in the mastoid in complicated mastoiditis cases. Abstract : Calcium sulfate matrix as local antibiotic carrier could be a useful adjunct in complicated mastoiditis cases or infections after otologic surgeries involving foreign body material.
