The microbiome of otitis media with effusion

The Laryngoscope, 2016
Objectives/HypothesisThe adenoid pad has been considered a reservoir for bacteria in the pathogenesis of otitis media with effusion. This study aimed to characterize the middle ear microbiota in children with otitis media with effusion and establish whether a correlation exists between the middle ear and adenoid microbiota.Study DesignProspective ...

Balance and otitis media with effusion

International Journal of Audiology, 2008
Dizziness can be caused by a variety of peripheral vestibular, central, and systemic disease processes. Eustachian tube dysfunction with and without middle-ear effusion has been considered one of the most common causes of balance disturbances in young children.

Immunochemistry of Otitis Media with Effusion

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1976
For investigation of the nature and origin of middle ear effusions, immunochemical studies were performed on more than 400 patients diagnosed as having otitis media with effusion. Although results of cellulose acetate and disc electrophoretic analyses and quantitation of IgG, IgA, and IgM suggested that proteins found in the effusions were derived for ...

Chronic Otitis Media with Effusion

Pediatrics In Review, 1999
Chronic OME, which arises from a complex series of inflammatory events in the middle ear, affects approximately 5% to 30% of children. The mean duration of MEE is 16 to 20 weeks during the first 2 years of life. This condition is diagnosed best with pneumatic otoscopy and tympanometry.

Treatment of Otitis Media with Effusion

Auris Nasus Larynx, 1985
It seems probable that otitis media with effusion (OME) arises from acute OM and cannot be mistaken for suppurative OM since its inflammation recedes to a lesser degree. Accordingly, my concept for treatment of patients with OME focuses on the inflammation. The purpose of this paper is to describe treatment on the basis of this concept.

Otitis media with effusion: a disability or not?

Clinical Otolaryngology and Allied Sciences, 1997
Otitis media with effusion (OME) is a disease most commonly affecting the paediatric population. However, it is a condition that is also seen in adults and does lead to significant morbidity. We studied the effect of surgical treatment of OME in an adult population and found that the subjective relief of symptoms exceeded the objective audiometric gain.

Autoimmunity in the etiology of otitis media with effusion

American Journal of Otolaryngology, 2003
Otitis media with effusion (OME) is one of the most common health problems seen in children. The role of autoimmunity in the etiology of OME has been discussed for a long time. The purpose of this investigation is to determine the role of circulating antibodies in the pathogenesis of OME.

Human rhinoviruses in otitis media with effusion

Pediatric Allergy and Immunology, 2006
Frequent viral upper respiratory tract infections (URTI) are considered to be risk factors for otitis media with effusion (OME). Atopy has also been associated with both OME and viral infections. The aim of this study was to evaluate the presence of viruses in middle ear effusions (MEE) in children 2–7 yr old with OME, and to determine risk factors for

Otitis Media with Effusion

Otitis media with effusion is a very common disease in children and presents with conductive hearing loss. The child may be inattentive in school. The color of the tympanic membrane may be amber or yellowish. In mucoid types the appearance of the tympanic membrane becomes dull, opaque, and vascularized.
