OTITIS MEDIA
![Page 2: Otitis media](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070323/55a205091a28abe9648b45e7/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
OTITIS MEDIA
• Definition: Presence of a middle ear infection• Acute Otitis Media: occurrence of bacterial
infection within the middle ear cavity.• Otitis Media with Effusion: presence of nonpurulent
fluid within the middle ear cavity• OM is the second most common clinical problem in
childhood after upper respiratory infection.

EPIDEMIOLOGY
• Peak incidence in the first two years of life (esp. 6-12 months)• Boys more affected girls• 50% of children 1 yr of age will have at least 1
episode.• 1/3 of children will have 3 or more infections by age
3• 90% of children will have at least one infection by
age 6.• Occurs more frequently in the winter months

MICROBES AT FAULT!!!
• Streptococcus pneumoniae• Haemophilus influenzae(non-typeable)• Moraxella catarrhalis• Group A Streptococcus• Staph aureus• Pseudomonas aeruginosa• RSV assoc. with Acute Otitis Media

CLASSIFICATION OF OTITIS MEDIA
• Acute Otitis Media: presents with fever, otalgia, and hearing loss• Otitis Media with Effusion: evidence of middle
ear effusion on pneumatic otoscopy• Recurrent Otitis Media: inability to clear middle
ear effusions• Chronic Serous Otitis Media: presents as
‘fullness in the ear’, tinnitus, or another acute disease.

RISK FACTORS
• Upper Respiratory Infections• Allergies• Craniofacial abnormalities (cleft palate)• Down’s Syndrome• Passive smoking

PATHOGENESIS
• This problem mainly deals with eustacian tube dysfunction. Otitis Media usually follows an URI in which there is edema of the eustacian tube, leading to blockage. Stasis of these middle ear secretions lead to infection and irritation• Other factors: allergic rhinitis, nasal polyps,
adenoidal hypertrophy

SIGNS & SYMPTOMS
• Neonates/Infants: change in behavior, irritability, tugging at ears, decreased appetite, vomiting.
• Children(2-4): otalgia, fever, noises in ears, cannot hear properly, changes in personality
• Children (>4): complain of ear pain, changes I personality

ON PHYSICAL EXAM…
• The classic description for Otitis Media is an erythematic, opaque, bulging tympanic membrane with loss of anatomic landmarks including a dull/absent light reflex.• Pneumatic Otoscopy: decreased tympanic
membrane mobility

DIAGNOSIS
Pneumatic Otoscopy: standard tool for diagnosis
Impedance Tympanometry: useful for MEE. Measures the resonance of the ear canal for a fixed sound as the air pressure is varied.
Spectral Gradient Acoustic Reflectometry: measures the condition of the middle ear by assessing the response of the TM to a sound stimulus. Equivalent to tympanometry for dx of middle ear effusions

DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS
• Otitis externa• Bullous myringitis• Cerumen impaction• Dental abscess• Foreign body in ear canal• Referred pain (parotid/tooth/lymphadenitis)• Tonsilitis

TREATMENT
• Amoxicillin: 20-40 mg/kg/day tid for 10-14 days or,• Augmentin: 45 mg/kg/day po bid for 10-14 days• Auralgan: analgesic/adjunct for ear pain 2-4 drops
tid

2ND LINE TREATMENT REGIMEN
• Cefzil• Pediazole ( erythromycin/sulfisoxazole)• Bactrim (trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole• These medications are used as secondary agents if
the primary antibiotic has failed after 10 days and the symptoms persists.

TREATMENT CONT.
• tympanocentesis & myringotomy: involves puncturing the tympanic membrane and aspirating middle ear fluid to relieve pressure. Only used if the primary and secondary line treatment fail.• With the increasing incidence of drug resistant
strains of S. pneumoniae, CDC recommends the capacity of clinicians to be efficient in using tympanocentesis.

INDICATIONS FOR TYMPANOCENTESIS
• Toxic appearing child• Failed treatment regimen with antibiotics• Suppurative complications• Immunosuppressed pt.• Newborn infant in which the usual pathogens may
not be the case.

COMPLICATIONS
• Hearing loss: conductive, sensoneural, mixed)• Acute mastoiditis: before the advent of antibiotics• Chronic perforation of the TM• Tympanosclerosis• Cholesteatoma• Chronic suppurative OM• Cholesterol granuloma: ‘Blue drum syndrome’• Facial nerve paralysis

COMPLICATIONS CONT…
• Intracranial complications• Bacterial meningitis• Epidural abscess• Subdural empyema• Brain abscess• Otitic hydrocephalus• Lateral sinus thrombosis
