Prevalence of Various Respiratory Viruses in the Middle Ear during Acute Otitis Media

Acute otitis media is the most common bacterial infection among children and the most frequent reason for outpatient antibiotic therapy. 1 Despite proper antibiotic treatment, middle-ear effusion may persist for weeks or months, 2 , 3 often resulting in repeated courses of antibiotics and, eventuall...

Popis
Shrnutí:	Acute otitis media is the most common bacterial infection among children and the most frequent reason for outpatient antibiotic therapy. 1 Despite proper antibiotic treatment, middle-ear effusion may persist for weeks or months, 2 , 3 often resulting in repeated courses of antibiotics and, eventually, surgical intervention. 4 In the United States, the annual costs of otitis media have been estimated to exceed $3.5 billion. 5 Although acute otitis media is generally considered a bacterial infection, there is ample evidence that respiratory viruses have a crucial role in the etiology and pathogenesis of this disease. 6 , 7 Moreover, viruses may also profoundly affect the outcome of . . .
