(See "Chronic otitis media, cholesteatoma, and mastoiditis in adults".) DEFINITION Acute otitis media (AOM) is an acute, suppurative infectious process marked by the presence of infected middle ear fluid and inflammation of the mucosa lining the middle ear space (picture 1).
This bacterial infection of the middle ear space is usually caused byStreptococcus pneumoniae orHaemophilus influenzae, most commonly occurring in young children (3 years of age and under). Children present with a combination of ear pain (otalgia), fever and malaise.
Definition. Chronic suppurative otitis media is persistent inflammation of the middle ear or mastoid cavity. Synonyms include chronic otitis media, chronic mastoiditis, and chronic tympanomastoiditis.
An ear infection (sometimes called acute otitis media) is an infection of the middle ear, the air-filled space behind the eardrum that contains the tiny vibrating bones of the ear. Children are more likely than adults to get ear infections.
Suppurative otitis media is a fluid buildup in the ear with pus formation, while nonsuppurative lacks pus formation.
Bilateral acute otitis media (AOM) is considered more severe than unilateral AOM, and several guidelines recommend more active management of bilateral AOM. However, severity of symptoms and otoscopic signs of bilateral and unilateral AOM have previously not been comprehensively studied.
Otitis media with effusion (OME) and acute otitis media (AOM) are two main types of otitis media (OM). OME describes the symptoms of middle ear effusion (MEE) without infection, and AOM is an acute infection of the middle ear and caused by bacteria in about 70% of cases (1).
Ear Infection. Be aware that serous otitis media is not an ear infection, otherwise known as acute otitis media. While both have fluid in the middle ear space, fluid with acute otitis media is infected, whereas that is not the case with serous otitis media.
Two types of CSOM are recognized, a mucosal disease (safe type) and an epithelial disease (unsafe type) [3].
A child with a hole in the eardrum can get chronic otitis media – a hole in the eardrum, long-standing infections, and drainage from the ear canal (otorrhea). The infection slowly wears away the middle ear bones. Chronic otitis media can also lead to a cholesteatoma.
