Antibiotic theory in otitis media.

Abstract:

:Otitis media is currently the most common diagnosis made by clinicians, which has a major impact on managed care. The emergence of resistant bacterial pathogens has caused controversy over the use of antibiotics when acute otitis media (AOM) is diagnosed. All infants with AOM and all older children with severe AOM should be treated with antibiotics, despite concerns about rising rates of resistant bacterial pathogens. Some older children with nonsevere AOM may be candidates for initial observation, although this is not confirmed by clinical trials. Antimicrobial agents are not required for otitis media with effusion of recent onset but may be considered if this effusion becomes chronic; in these cases, tympanostomy tube placement may be indicated. Antimicrobial prophylaxis for prevention of recurrent AOM should be reserved for selected patients because of the possible emergence of resistant organisms. Tympanostomy tube placement is a more reasonable option today.
