Otitis externa by Pseudomonas aeruginosa associated with whirlpools.

A H Havelaar, M Bosman, J Borst
PMCID: PMC2134279  PMID: 6408165

Abstract

Over a period of about 1 year, otitis externa occurred in at least 300 visitors to a recreational park. The infections were associated with the presence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in insufficiently chlorinated whirlpools.
