Background Myringotomy was performed in eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to treat otitis media During the preantibiotic era, the primary concern was the potential for intracranial complications of acute otitis media In 1954, Armstrong ' s reintroduction of the tympanostomy tube, after that, few true advances in the treatment of otitis media was developed

Classification of otitis media Otitis meda with effusion; the presence of middle ear effusion If the middle ear effusion is present for 8 Weeks or longer, it is classified chronic otitis media with effusion
Classification of Otitis media ◼ Otitis meda with effusion: the presence of middle ear effusion. ◼ If the middle ear effusion is present for 8 weeks or longer, it is classified chronic otitis media with effusion
Microbiology of otitis media Bacteria can be isolated from one third of patient who have OME The most common are s pneumonia, H influenzae and m catarrhalis (using traditional culture method) By using PCr these three bacteria were detected in approximately 70% of Chronic middle ear effusion
