First described by Howie [1] as the otitis prone condition, we nowadays talk about recurrent acute otitis media (rAOM) as coined by Goycoolea [2]. The condition in a child is defined as having at least three episodes of acute otitis media (AOM) in a period of 6 months, or four or more episodes in 12 months.

What are the different types of otitis media?Acute otitis media. This middle ear infection occurs abruptly causing swelling and redness. ... Otitis media with effusion. Fluid (effusion) and mucus continue to accumulate in the middle ear after an initial infection subsides. ... Chronic otitis media with effusion.
Chronic otitis media is divided into two categories: chronic suppurative otitis media and chronic otitis media with effusion (OME). Chronic suppurative otitis media is not temporally related to acute otitis, as the pathological changes in the middle ear are different.

Disease Ontology : 12 A otitis media which involves transudation of fluid in the middle ear without pus formation. MalaCards based summary : Non-Suppurative Otitis Media, also known as nonsuppurative otitis media, is related to eustachian tube disease and acute serous otitis media.
Otitis media is a generic term that refers to an inflammation of the middle ear. The middle ear is the space behind the eardrum. Otitis media with effusion means there is fluid (effusion) in the middle ear, without an infection.
Otitis means inflammation of the ear. The inflammation is usually due to an infection. Otitis externa means that the inflammation is confined to the external part of the ear canal and does not go further than the eardrum. See separate leaflet called Ear Infection (Otitis Media), for an infection of the middle ear.
There are two types of middle ear infections: acute otitis media (AOM) and otitis media with effusion (OME).
Chronic suppurative otitis media is a long-standing, persistently draining perforation of the eardrum (tympanic membrane). Acute otitis media and blockage of a eustachian tube are among the causes of chronic suppurative otitis media.
Chronic otitis media often develops from an acute middle ear infection. In other cases, an ear injury or blockage in the Eustachian tube—the structure that connects the back of the nose to the middle ear—is the cause of chronic otitis media.
Incidence and Prevalence. The worldwide prevalence of chronic suppurative otitis media is 65 to 330 million persons, and 39 to 200 million (60%) of those individuals have clinically significant hearing impairment. Cholesteatoma can be either congenital (behind an intact tympanic membrane) or acquired.
