1 Acute otitis media (with adequate therapy) middle ear a viral upper
 Acute inflammation in  < 3 weeks (month)  Often associated with respiratory infection  Most common reason middle ear a viral upper for medical therapy for children younger than 5 years  Recurrent otitis media: At least 4 episodes/ year At least 3 episodes/ 6 months (with adequate therapy)

2 Epidemiology children have at least one episode of (by age 3, 50-85%)
incidence age 6-15 months  Most AOM  Peak  Increased incidence in the fall and winter  Only 20% are adults  >700 milion cases/year

3 Causes mucosa mucosa with nasopharynx Edema > narrowed lumen >
 Eustachian tube is lined with respiratory mucosa  Responds together mucosa with nasopharynx Edema > narrowed lumen > negative middle ear pressure  Influx of pathogens possible from nasopharynx is

4 Causes the obstruction ear worsens Allergies
 Inflammatory response in middle the obstruction ear worsens  Trigger: Allergies Upper respiratory tract infections GER (especially children) Adenoid hypertrophy Other

5 Causes Combined (15%) RSV Rhinovirus Coronavirus
 Viral (30-70%) RSV Rhinovirus Coronavirus Influenza, parainfluenza  Bacterial (55%) Streptococcus pneumoniae (44%) Haemophilus influenzae (41%) Moraxella catarrhalis (14%) Gram negative enteric bacteria S. Aureus Combined (15%)

6 Risk factors  Age: <7
 Their Eustachian tubes are short, floppy, horizontal and poorly functioning

7 Handbook of Pediatric Otolaryngology : A Practical Guide for Evaluation and Management
of Pediatric Ear, Nose, and Throat Disorders

8 Risk factors Eustachian tube dysfunction Allergic tendencies
 Genetic predisposition Eustachian tube dysfunction Allergic tendencies  Bottle feeding (first 3 months) (breast milk contains lactoferrin, oligosaccharide and surface immunoglobulin A that inhibit bacterial colonization) (sucking generates negative pressure)  Incorrect posture while breastfeeding

9 Risk factors Unrepaired cleft palate  Parental smoking
 Underlying pathology Unrepaired cleft palate  Parental smoking  Large familys/attending daycare  Immunocompromised states

10 Signs and symptoms (speech delay for children)  Otalgia (not always)
 Fever  Hearing loss (speech delay for  Headache  Nausea  Cough  Rhinitis  Conjunctivitis children)

11 Physical Examination (purulent, serous, mucoid) Red or opaque eardrum
 Pneumatic otoscopy/otoscopy: Red or opaque eardrum Retracted eardrum Immobile or hypo-mobile eardrum Presence of fluid behind eardrum (purulent, serous, mucoid) Retraction pockets Bullous myringitis

14 Physical Examination ) tympanostomy tube, perforation nasal cavity
 Otorrhea (in case of tympanostomy tube, perforation  Mastoid tenderness  Anteriorly rotated pinna  Tympanometry  Audiometry  Inspection or pharynx and nasal cavity

15 Diagnosis (hypomobile eardrum, air-fluid level) (erythema, otalgia)
 Acute onset of signs and syptoms  The presence of middle ear effusion (hypomobile eardrum, air-fluid level)  Signs and symptoms of middle ear inflamation (erythema, otalgia)

16 Complications  Acute mastoiditis  Abscess formation
 Facial paralysis  Otitis media with effusion  Persistent AOM  Recurrent AOM  Hearing loss  Perforation of eardrum

17 Complications (rare)  Lateral sinus thrombosis  Otitic hydrocephalus
 Septic shock  Meningitis  Encephalitis  Extradural abscess  Labyrinthitis

18 Treatment paracetamol) Children of age <6months
 Antibacterial therapy for: Children of age <6months 6 months to 2 years with severe Recurrent or billateral AOM Immunocompromised patients illness Patients with a perforated tympanic membrane  Pain management (Ibuprofen, Diclofenac, paracetamol)  Decongestants and/or antihistamines, nasal steroids

19 After 24-48h (48-72h) No antibiotics > antibiotics
 If no improvemants: No antibiotics > antibiotics Antibiotics > change to a different antibiotics

20 Antibacterial therapy
Amoxicilin mg/day mg/kg/day (has not recived amoxicilin in past 30 days and allergy to penicilin) Amoxicillin-clavulanate 875/125mg/day 90/6.4 mg/kg/day (alternative for amoxicilin) Ceftriaxone 1-2g/day 50mg/kg/day or Cefuroxim 500mg/day 30mg/kg/day has no Azithromycin, clarithromycin, erythromycin case of allergy to penicilin days in

21 Recurrent AOM treatment  +Tympanostomy

22 Non-drug Treatment  Myringotomy in case of sevare pain  Tympanocentesis in case of severe pain a diagnostic procedure if there is no improvement with 2nd line of antibiotics (local anesthesia) (narcosis) and as

23 Preventive measures Adenoidectomy Polipectomy S. Pneumonia (PCV-7)
 Avoiding risk factors if possible  Vaccination: ? S. Pneumonia (PCV-7) Influenza Adenoidectomy Polipectomy

24 Differential diagnosis  Otitis externa
 Impacted cerumen or foreign body in ear  Tympanosclerosis  Otitis media with effusion  Injury of the ear
