Bacteriological Evaluation of Children With Otorrhea
Sponsor: Association Clinique Thérapeutique Infantile du val de Marne
Summary
After pneumococcal conjugate vaccine implementation, the number of acute otitis media (AOM) episodes has decreased, but AOM still remains among the most common diagnoses in childhood. From 2% to 17% of cases of AOM feature spontaneous perforation of the tympanic membrane (SPTM). The aim of this study was to describe the bacteriological causes of SPTM several years after PCV13 implementation, in 2010.
