“…OM with effusion (OME), where fluid is present behind the eardrum without signs of active infection is thought to represent between 25 and 35% of the total cases of OM (Sagraves et al 1992;Stool 1994). Eighty percent of children experience at least one episode of OME (Mora et al 2002) with the highest occurrence in children younger than 6 yrs (Thrasher & Allen 2005).…”

A preliminary set of normative ER data have been generated for a pediatric population between the ages of 5 and 7 yrs, which were significantly different from previously gathered normative adult ER data. In this study, pediatric normative data were warranted for testing children, but ethnic-specific norms were not required to detect middle ear pathology and changes in middle ear status. WBR shows promise as a clinical diagnostic tool for measuring the mechanoacoustic properties of the middle ear and the changes that result in the presence of negative middle ear pressure or MEE.

Acute otitis media is a common health problem worldwide that accounts for significant morbidity, primarily among pre-school-age children, for which antimicrobial therapy is currently the treatment of choice. Approximately 25% of all prescriptions written in the US for children under the age of 10 years are for children diagnosed as having acute otitis media. Until adequately designed studies with appropriate patient populations are conducted, clinicians must base their decisions to treat acute otitis media with antimicrobial therapy, and their choice of drug, on local susceptibility patterns (if known), in vitro and in vivo studies, adverse effect profiles, tolerability, and affordability. Such studies will hopefully answer questions about selecting an antimicrobial for acute otitis media and address the comprehensive cost of using various antimicrobials for the condition. Because of the human and economic costs associated with acute otitis media, healthcare practitioners should also be aware of the epidemiology, pathophysiology and various treatment options for children with acute otitis media.
