Acute Otitis Media (AOM) is the second most prevalent disease found in children after Upper Respiratory Tract Infection (URTI). AOM prevalence varies in different countries, ranging between 2.3 -20%. Epidemiological studies of AOM in developing countries are very rare. As of today, no prevalence data of AOM found in North Sumatera. Thus, there needs to be an epidemiological data to establish prevention strategy and treatment based on population profile. The objective of this study is to acquire prevalence data and patient profile of AOM in North Sumatera. This is a descriptive study with cross-sectional design. The study population is all the people living in North Sumatera Province who were selected through Simple Random Sampling in several chosen sub-districts. The inclusion criteria of this study is the total population who are willing to be the subject of this study. AOM patients was found as much as 37 of 1726 subjects. Therefore, the prevalence of AOM is 2.1%. Women comprise more of the group (51.4%). The most prevalent age group is 0-5 years old (45.9%). The most prevalent symptom is otalgia (37.8%). The prevalence of AOM in North Sumatera is 2.2%. There is a need for better ear care and screening program for early detection of this disease.

Background: Otomycosis is more and more found in chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM), several factors (iterative antibiotic therapy, self-medication, general chronic diseases, climate), may explain this phenomenon which makes it more complex to start an adequate therapy. Objective was to highlight the place of otomycosis in chronic purulent otorrhea of the middle ear in tropical settings. Study settings were like the ENT unit of the reference health centre of commune IV of the district of Bamako, the Rodolphe Mérieux laboratory.Methods: We identified the bacteriological samples taken in our unit between February 2009 and February 2018.The study involved 178 samples from a number of patients estimated at 148 with chronic purulent otitis media. All samples collected were transported and evaluated by both direct microscopic examination and culture method for bacteria and fungi examination, which were identified by standard procedures.Results: The female sex predominated with 60.82%. The mean age of the patients was 27 years (range 5 months to 91 years). Among 170 samples, 36.19% yielded fungal growth, 59.7% grew bacteria and 50.94% showed mixed growth of fungi and bacteria. Major fungal isolates were candida species (n=38). 21 isolates were identified as Aspergillus.Conclusions: This study will have made it possible to confirm the significant place of otomycosis in the chronic suppurative pathology of middle ear in our structure, requiring its consideration in the adequate treatment of CSOM.

Otitis media akut (OMA) adalah infeksi pada telinga tengah yang disebabkan oleh virus atau bakteri. OMA memiliki lima stadium, yaitu stadium oklusi, stadium hiperemis, stadium supuratif, stadium perforasi, dan stadium resolusi. Penurunan pendengaran adalah salah satu gejala klinis dari OMA. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mencari apakah ada hubungan antara stadium OMA dengan derajat gangguan dengar dan bagaimana hubungan antara kedua variabel tersebut. Metode: Desain penelitian ini menggunakan metode cross sectional yang melibatkan rekam medis untuk menyeleksi kriteria eksklusi, setelah itu pasien yang sudah sesuai dengan kriteria inklusi akan dilakukan pemeriksaan audiometri nada murni. Hasil analisis hubungan antara stadium OMA dengan derajat gangguan dengar menggunakan uji Chi Square Pearson dengan nilai p= 0,001. Hasil analisis hubungan setiap stadium OMA dengan derajat gangguan dengar, memiliki nilai nilai p berbeda-beda. Stadium oklusi memiliki nilai p= 0,000, stadium hipermis memiliki nilai p= 0,000, stadium supuratif memiliki nilai p= 0,007, stadium perforasi memiliki nilai p= 0,000, dan stadium resolusi memiliki nilai p= 0,000. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa hubungan semua stadium OMA dengan derajat gangguan pendengaran di klinik Telinga Hidung Tenggorokan (THT) RS Dustira adalah signifikan karena nilai p< 0,05. Hubungan yang terjadi antara stadium OMA dengan derajat gangguan dengar disebabkan oleh gangguan hantar gelombang suara. Kesimpulan penelitian ini adalah gangguan hantaran gelombang suara ini dipengaruhi oleh beberapa komponen yang terganggu proses fisiologisnya. Komponen tersebut yaitu membran timpani, tekanan di telinga tengah, dan tulang-tulang di telinga tengah.
