Aspergillosis infection of the ear is usually associated with diabetes mellitus, profound long lasting neutropenia or patient is otherwise immunocompromised. The exudate on your slide looks like Aspergillus Fumigatis which is more severe than the more usual Aspergillus Niger. If not treated, it can lead to bone/cartilage erosion and severe complications associated with that. The most effective treatment for this type of fungal infection would appear to be 1% Voriconazole drops, after extensive debridement has been carried out. It’s important to note that it’s not the easiest of fungal infections to treat, and it usually indicates another underlying health issue. It’s also important to check whether patient has been receiving long term steroid treatment. Good luck, and I hope the patient makes a swift recovery.
Good information! I was thinking it was cing back too easily to be just the basic Aspergillus, and we don't know if he has any other underlying conditions, but I'm willing to bet yes.
@durham hearing specialists Conor, here is a very good response.
Perhaps the patient’s GP could culture it.
Thank You Veronika!
Thanks Veronika, what did you see which makes you think fumigatus? I suspect an immune issue as well, patient history is clean, we'll see if his GP does any bloods
“It looks like the Crest of Gondor and is freaking everywhere”.Love it.Great job above and beyond Connor for this patient.The fungus itself is beautiful.
Wow, So Fascinating! Thank You Connor, for Helping Your patient, and calling their Dr, with Your finding, Above and Beyond! Hope they get Sorted Soon, that something Soothes and Heals their poor ears. Great that You gave the 4 other videos, for those that missed them. All Very Much Appreciated!
Right!? He totally slays me with those cracks. Usually he's all business and proper medical terms. :D
Thankyou Maryum
Thankyou Vivienne
I thought I heard a LOTR reference in there real quick. Classic!! I can't think of anyone else who could refer to a fungal sample with a Tolkien metaphor. 😂
I admire a man who can wax lyrical over the beauty of an opponent. Excellent detective work, sir
"Wax lyrical".... I see what ya did there. :)
OMG, Tanya, I did, didn't I? I love puns and would be extremely proud of this one if I had done it on purpose. I hate getting senile! Thanks for catching it. Credit goes to you.
Thankyou J
@@jteal6251 accidental puns are super fun, as well!
@@jteal6251 I believe you may be a genius, Sir. You have managed an awesome pun….effortlessly! 🌹
LOL a fellow Tolkien fan. "It looks like the Crest of Gondor!" love it
You missed your calling. You need to be a research doctor. Your thirst for finding the unknown is worthy of admiration.
I find it refreshing that you want to treat the cause and not the symptoms! Treating the symptoms will bring you business! Treating the cause shows your integrity!
Thank you for the update, aspergillus is carried by spores, we breath them in , they land on us, they love damp nooks and crannies like the ears, sinuses and also the lungs. I lost my Father to aspergillus which he breathed in, he was on a lot of medication for it, they even cut half his lung away but the teeny fungus branches had invaded most of the lung. I hope the patients Doctor treats this aggressively sooner rather than later. Was fascinating seeing the fungus under the microscope .
I'd really appreciate of you could help me with some information. I am 80% positive what happened to your dad, may help point me in the right direction to help me. What ever way you want to converse, is fine. This is not a scam. Im real person. Water damage , mold, horrible home insurance, mold remediation was not done. ( yet charged falsely for it.) I have no insurance and have been to sick to work for over a year. No one will listen or help me.
@@ashleyjones3965 Not sure If I can help you, dads was nothing to do with any mould in the home so we had nothing to do with home insurance etc .
I am so sorry for your loss. I am saying a prayer for you.
Thank you VERY much for your perseverance with this patient. It’s very interesting to find out what was causing his build up of dead skin. I hope the anti fungal drops sort the problemout this time.
Conor, you going the extra mile for this patient is wonderful to watch. Thank you for all of the information.
This is why I watch doctors on UA-cam. To try to restore my respect and hope in the profession. I and my family have had so many terrible experiences with doctors over the years that I am so jaded about my own care. To see how you went over and above to try to figure out what was going on with your patient is heartwarming.
My kids and I have been following this and found it very informative. We are studying fungi in science so the slides were very helpful to apply the science to what actually happens in the hum body. Beautiful!
This patient is so lucky to have such a dedicated professional who won't take no for an answer.
Well done Connor. Great videos, presented well. 👍
This patient is lucky to have you to help.
This has been such a fascinating case to follow. Thank you for sharing.
How you went the extra mile is absolutely great. I've had doctors literally be rude, not return my calls, deny me, ect. This patient is blessed to have found you. Thanks for educating us & keeping us all updated. To say great job is an understatement my friend. I truly hope everything works out for the patient. 👍😉😍💙
God bless 👑🙏🏼🕊🌾💕💕
Thankyou MissKA
@@DurhamHearingSpecialists You're welcome Connor. Again great job.
God bless 👑🕊🙏🏼😍😉💗
My favorite thing about this DR is that he plainly says any expert who knows more than him please feel free to speak up. And it isn’t just word service because he actually LISTENS & RESPONDS.
I wish all doctors were as diligent and caring. Thanks for taking us along on the journey!
It's so encouraging to hear of a practitioner going above and beyond to help their patient. In a system where coverage abounds but care is often hard to come by, to see you work hand-in-hand with the GP like this, for the patient's good, is nothing short of heartwarming. Good on you, Connor!
Thankyou for your comment Matt
Very impressive Conor. You have definitely gone above and beyond. Please continue with updates and best of luck to your patient.
Thankyou J M
This case has been very interesting to follow and, I must say, that I am impressed by your willingness to keep digging into it to help this poor guy. This has got to be very aggravating and, perhaps, a little frightening for him. Thank you for showing us the follow-up vids.
I hope that's not the final update! Hopefully, we'll get good news this problem has been resolved! Thank you!
This kind of dedication is what every patient needs. I've been dismissed and have to bear pain for so long before a care-enough doctor truly find the disease. Blessed you !
It is so wonderful the way you persevered to find the answer for this patient.
I’m so impressed. The logic you employed to develop a clinical approach and analysis was as beautiful as the fungal patterns you uncovered. I’m looking forward to the next update. I also wish the best for your client’s treatment. Congratulations. Your determination and intelligence are impressive.
Wonderful to see a doctor who actually cares and goes above and beyond to discover the root cause! Well done.
Have been Following this case it’s really interesting and I can’t wait to hear if the medicine a GP order for them works or not please keep us up-to-date great work
This case has fascinated me since the beginning! The structure of the fungus was indeed beautiful! I hope you're able to help him with the anti fungal drops, and hopefully he gets seen by the ENT soon.
After watching this poor chaps predicament. At least he knows now what it is and can treat it. Hopefully things will clear up for your client. Well done on a fascinating case
Thank you for keeping us informed about this case. I love all the new information we get from watching your videos.
Ty Connor for that slide presentation. You always teach me so much with every video you do. You are right with your observation of the hyphae having a beautiful structure. Amazing. Looking forward to seeing more videos of you. Please consider posting more frequently. You’re my fav channel to watch.
Thanks for your feedback and support
Very informative and fascinating video! Would love to know if the anti-fungal medicines help the patient. Also, seeing those mesmerizing patterns inside that mess was mind blowing!
Excellent and great point - once you see it you can see it everywhere. Love how much dedication you have for this gentleman and health.
God bless you for helping him. You are such a caring person. Most people wouldn't have done anything like this to help him.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
“Looks like the crest of Gondor” a LOTR reference, favourite line in the video, awesome video, would love more videos like this series ✌🏻
The Crest of Gondor - indeed it does look similar but it also looks like the tracks of someone lost in a blizzard or the surface of a planet in a galaxy far far away. Thank you so much for taking us on this journey - keep us posted
Thankyou Christine, will post another update if he returns
Fascinating. Your care for this patient is amazing! Your explanation was excellent. Wish we had you in the States!
Conner, you are just amazing! You think you're just doing your job, but you are going above and beyond!!!
Thankyou M L
Too cute. He sounds like he's describing beautiful art in a gallery 😂 ❤️☮️
Thank you for sharing this, it is beautiful and fascinating! This reminded me of the days that my lab tech friends (I’m an ER nurse) would call me back to the lab to look at interesting specimens when the nightshift was calm enough.
Thank you so much for the update! Very interesting!!
Great job Detective Connor. Keep posting updates as I am invested in this patient outcome now.
Oh that poor guy!! Thanks for the update!
Thank you so much for showing the slide! I agree that the fungal structure is absolutely beautiful. I actually took some screenshots to see if I can incorporate it into some kind of art piece.
"The crest of Gondor."
Gold. Pure gold.
Fascinating slide, I hope he is able to get this under control , great job figuring it out!
Good case. Thanks for the update!
That fungus is extraordinarily beautiful! Love the Gondor reference!
Oo this was such an interesting case! Thank you for teaching us so much and taking us along this learning journey :D
Absolutely brilliant, we’ll done ! Fantastic job! 🌟
Life is amazing no matter the form it takes. Thank you for trying to sort his situation out; I hope the drops work for him.
Thank you very much! That was absolutely fantastic! The hyphi (sp?) was spectacular looking.
That was 'freaking' awesome!! The slide was very impressive x
Thanks for the update!
That's beautiful at 9:11 and 9:57 ... Please don't let this be the last update! You have to show us what happens, if the fungal drops work, and then keep cleaning his ears out! I bet the skin still continues to form for a while!
Fascinating info & explanation, Conor! Thanks!
Great work, very professional, well versed!
so fascinating!! it's kind of pretty the blue part. i would almost use it for a piece of art on my wall because it's something that i'm very interested in everyday.
Crest of Gondor! So exciting!
This is brilliant. Thank you for continuing to try and help this poor guy. Excellent video.
Thankyou Sammy
Good of you to get to the bottom of it and really address the situation.
Conor, I am very impressed with your scientific knowledge and perseverance. But I am most impressed with your reference to the tree of Gondor!! You made my geeky heart happy, lol.
❤ I am such a fan! My daughter is a lab technician and this stuff fascinates me and your voice is wonderful! Please keep up the videos! Thank you!
Absolutely beautiful. The tree like structures look like art work. You are the most interesting earwax specialist I’ve ever watched. Keep up the good work.
Thankyou Amy
That is amazing and beautiful. But I do feel bad for the patient. Hope it clears up for him.
Beautiful abstract slide. Unfortunate for the patient, good doc for going above and beyond to help this person.
Yes, this video is indeed, interesting, as are all your videos. However, here you convey a definite passion for your important work. Thank you so much for sharing!
…
It occurs to me that with this sort of medical video-sharing that goes on around the world these days, this has the doubly fine effect of doctors in countries with much less funding being able to learn for their own patients. What a fantastic thing you’re doing!
Brilliant Connor!! Wonderfully engrossing! So glad to see someone really going all out to help the patient!
Thanks!
How fascinating and beautiful in its own way. The patient must be so relieved. I have recently watched a video, stating that fungi are very similar to us genetically.
Fascinating. Please do keep us posted.
Very interesting! The Kingdom of Fungi is so fascinating! I hope the patient will get better after an adequate treatment, they can be difficult to get rid of.
Thank you.
It truly is fascinating to see, the “beauty” of this fungus, how it branches like a spiders web.
Now I ninja if I come across a web and the fungus is giving me the same vibes (get it off). 😳😖😱
Connor, you’re one of the best and I’m a very satisfied subscriber, thank you for going the extra mile.
Agreed. It’s super interesting how many patterns repeat in nature like this. It’s so unsettling to see just how intricate the world around us is, it shatters our ego gained by being the apex species on our planet for so long. I love it and am terrified by it at the same time
Thankyou Jannie, glad you enjoyed!
The crest of Gondor. Has to be the highlight of this video for me Conor! Superb
That's amazing!!! And I loved that you were so excited about it too!
Thankyou Angie
Please keep us updated on this patient. I am so curious how this will turn out. Somehow I am deeply invested in the outcome for a patient "across the pond" who I will never know their name let alone never meet. Connor, your empathy is lovely and infectious (in a good way).
I will do Kristen, part of me thinks a single course of antifungal drops will not be enough, we'll wait and see
Same here I wish we had Dr.s like this in the states.
Very informative and much appreciated.though the presence of such fungi is disturbing,the awareness that there is a solution for the patient's ear problems is a good start.connor's patience and effort to find the "culprit"can help others with the same ear issues.
That is very fascinating.thank you
It's so strange how beautiful this fungus showed up, like art you'd like to put on your wall! I'm certainly praying this poor guy will get some resolution! 🙏💜
Well I learned something new today. This is really interesting to know. Thanks for sharing.
I KNEW it was a fungus!! I said if on the last video. That ish is WICCCKED
That is horrible he has to wait months for an ENT appt. How maddening. Poor guy.
In England, though we have the Wonderful NHS, which is free, there is a long queue for ENT, due to Covid lockdowns. The patient can go to a Private ENT, but would have to pay. I Hope this poor patient gets seen and treated soon. They can probably get their medication OK, I Hope it works.
And there can be loop holes too. Such as going private to get a diagnosis, then finding that you can’t get the drugs you need on an nhs prescription so have to pay whatever the pharmaceutical company want to change. And of course the medical insurance industry is very different here so there is generally not that back stop either. So you might know what is wrong and what you should be doing but not be able to do something about it.
Very interesting. Thank you for this demonstration.
What's up Conor! Keep them coming! I was beginning to worry we wouldn't see you again.
Will do, thanks for watching
I’m astounded at how beautiful this fungus is under the microscope!
Me too
Really amazing. I’ve followed this case from the beginning. Good job sticking with it👍
Thankyou Cheryl
You are awesome. Your search for answers is amazing. Very unusual. Thanks.
Thankyou Terri
The hyphae are pretty! Well done!
"So we have that going for us, which is nice". HA!!
Dry interesting case. Thanks for posting updates on this, and I hope the antifreeze gal drops work. And yes, the fungus under the microscope is beautiful
Makes sense, as it always reminded me of thrush 👍
Watching you geeking out over dead skin and fungi made my day!
Absolutely fascinating and beautiful in a strange way too!
Well done for solving this case, truly incredible. I enjoyed this one so much and am sure this patient will be relieved to know that there will be some relieve. Excellent one.
Thankyou Crystal, glad you enjoyed
It is beautiful! Amazing!
I just saw one, looked like a flower with leaves/greenery, Beautiful!
❤ thank you for being so persistant for this patient. How releived to find the answer.so that his doctors can help clear all this up. Thank you for all the information and your insistance in fugureing this out. Great job! USA NH
