Otomycosis is a fungus disease, not viral infection or bacterial. It may be transmitted from one person to another through contact. It is not a genetic disease so it can't transmit from parents to offspring. Otomycosis required treatment. It was concluded from the present study that most of the students were familiar with the disease.
