Abstract:

Definitions Acute otitis media with effusion (AOME) is a clinically identifiable, suppurative infection of the middle ear. The infection has a relatively sudden onset and short duration. It denotes inflammation of the mucoperiosteal lining of the middle ear. The inflamed tympanic membrane (TM) is bulging, opacified, or both. The condition chronic otitis media is poorly defined, but it may be categorized into two clinical entities for simplification: chronic otitis media with effusion (COME) and chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM). COME, also known as serous or non-suppurative otitis media, is characterized by the presence of a middle ear effusion (MEE) behind an intact TM that persists for more than 2 to 3 months. It may be asymptomatic except for hearing loss. There generally are no acute clinical signs or symptoms, and the TM is not red or bulging. CSOM is characterized by chronic perforation of the TM, with purulent discharge, for a prolonged period of time, usually more than 6 weeks. There generally is an insidious clinical onset. Either COME or CSOM may follow AOME. Epidemiology Otitis media is one of the most frequent causes for physician visits by children. Approximately 25% of such visits during the first year of life are for middle ear disease; this increases to 40% for children 4 to 5 years of age.

Abstract:

Middle ear infection, or acute otitis media (AOM), is a common condition encountered in primary care. Unfortunately, the diagnosis and sequelae of AOM can be overlooked, leading to significant patient morbidity. This article aims to raise awareness of AOM and highlights the relevant anatomy, epidemiology and aetiology. We discuss prevention, diagnosis and management of AOM in primary care, the recognition of complications and when to refer to secondary care.

Abstract:

Acute otitis media is the most common illness diagnosed during early childhood that can cause significant morbidity (Brook, 1994) and sometimes can cause irreversible sequelae such as a hearing defect and subsequent learning difficulties (Klein, 1994). The aims of the research presented here were to study some aspects of the middle ear defence mechanisms in both immune and non-immune rats following experimental otitis media (OM) with two pathogens nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) and Moraxella catarrhalis (M. catarrhalis). This study also aimed at developing a suitable technique for preparing immunohistochemical staining of middle ear sections (chapter 2). A previous study has shown that a regime where rats received an IPP immunisation combined with an IT boost was effective in enhancing clearance of a middle ear infection with the same strain of NTHi and also in the presence of a concomitant viral infection (Moore et al, 2001). Results of this study have shown that for NTHi infection a distinct cellular influx to the middle ear in the immune rats was accompanied by an enhanced bacterial clearance compared to the non-immunised rats (chapter 3). This cellular influx was responsible for the remarkable reduction in the bacterial number. The sharp decline in PMNs numbers in the NTHi immunised rats that followed complete bacterial clearance at 72h post infection (Table 3.1) indicate a more effectively controlled down regulation of this cell infiltrate than the non-immunised rats. For M. catarrhalis infection, there was no difference in cell infiltrate between immune and non-immune rats, but enhanced clearance of the bacteria were observed for the immune animals. The histopathological changes in the middle ear mucosa of rats with experimentally induced infection were studied to provide a better understanding about the distribution of the inflammatory cells and changes in the mucosa during the first 24h post challenge with NTHi and M. catarrhalis (Chapter 4). These changes have not been previously studied for the two pathogens at 24h post challenge in rats. Induced infections with the two pathogens were found to produce similar histopathological changes but more inflammatory infiltration was observed within the infected mucosa with NTHi than that seen with M. catarrhalis. The infections were characterized by increased thickness of the middle ear mucosa, Eustachian tube mucosa, periosteum and tympanic membrane. There was also an increase in the number and size of small blood vessels at all sites, and these small blood vessels seem to be the source of the inflammatory infiltration into the middle ear mucosa and middle ear cavity during the infection. These findings provided an essential background to the immunohistochemical study. The effect of mucosal immunisation on the distribution of CD4+T cells and CD8+T cells has not been investigated previously. Results of the present study (Chapter 5) show the pattern of distribution of these cells during the first 48h post infection with NTHi in the rat. The number of CD4+and CD8+T cells peaked at 24h post infection in the nonimmunised animal and were highest at 48h post-infection in the immunised rats. The difference in response in the immunised rats may represent regulation of the inflammatory response by the immune system. The inflammatory response regulation is indicated by the difference in cellular influx into the immune rats and the response in the immune rats that corresponds to enhanced bacterial clearance prior to a decrease in numbers of inflammatory cells once the bacteria was no longer detected (Chapter 3). This resolution of the inflammatory mass would reduce the opportunity for continued damage to local tissue. These changes are also supported by the reduction in the thickness of the middle ear mucosa of the immunised rats especially at 24h and 48h post-infection (Chapter 5). This study has shown that there are distinct differences in the rate of bacterial clearance and cellular changes in the middle ear mucosa and tympanic bulla in immunised rats during a middle ear infection. Future studies are still required to gain a better understanding of differences in the inflammatory response for both pathogens, NTHi and M. catarrhalis.

Abstract:

Acute otitis media ( AOM) is one of the most common indications for antibiotic use in children. We used the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec databases to better understand the prescribing patterns of physicians and to assess the effectiveness of different antibiotics in the treatment of AOM. We selected a cohort of 60,513 children aged < 6 years with a first episode of AOM between June 1999 and June 2002. Failure was defined as either a new dispensation of antibiotic or a hospitalization or outpatient visit for complications related to AOM in the following 30 days. The antibiotic most widely used was amoxicillin (42.8%). Failure occurred in 12,693 (21%) children. Overall, azithromycin was the only antibiotic that was less associated with failure when compared to amoxicillin (odds ratio 0.88; 95% confidence interval 0.82, 0.94). In the first 3 days of treatment, a 50% increased risk of failure was seen when macrolides were initially given. However, azithromycin was associated with a 20% decrease in the risk of failure occurring > 14 days after the beginning of treatment. Other risk factors associated with treatment failure were age < 24 months, antibiotics or hospitalization in the preceding month, and otitis-prone conditions. Considering the results of the effectiveness study, the importance of macrolides resistance among pneumococci, and because there is no single factor or combination of factors that predict with certainty which child will develop early or late failure, amoxicillin should remain the first-line drug of choice.

Abstract:

Abstract The purpose was to evaluate the microbiological mechanism of action of xylitol and to assess its use in clinical practice for preventing acute otitis media (AOM). To test whether the effect of xylitol on S. pneumoniae is inhibited by fructose, a total of 20 strains of S. pneumoniae were exposed to xylitol in the presence of fructose and other carbon sources. Addition of 5% xylitol to the media resulted in marked growth inhibition, an effect which was totally eliminated in the presence of 1%, 2.5% or 5% fructose but not in the presence of 1% or 5% glucose, 1% galactose or 1% sucrose. The inhibition of pneumococcal growth is probably mediated via a fructose phosphotransferase system in a similar manner to that seen in mutans streptococci. Sorbitol alone did not affect the growth of pneumococci, and thus sorbitol is unlikely to provide any clinical benefit in the prevention of AOM. To evaluate the effect of xylitol on the ultrastructure of S. pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae (H. influenzae) and on the pneumococcal phenotype, five strains of S. pneumoniae and one strain of H. influenzae were examined by electron microscopy after xylitol exposure. Xylitol damaged the ultrastructure of the pneumococci. Some of the bacteria were lysed and the cell wall of the remaining ones became more diffuse and the polysaccharide capsule was ragged. The resulting morphology was identical to that of the transparent pneumococcal phenotypic variant. The properties of the transparent variants of pneumococci could explain the clinical efficacy of xylitol in preventing AOM despite the lack of effect on the nasopharyngeal carriage of pneumococci. The cell wall of H. influenzae became slightly thicker, but the morphology remained otherwise unchanged. To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of xylitol locally in the nasopharynx, xylitol concentrations were measured in the saliva of 65 children by enzymatic assay after giving them xylitol chewing gum or syrup at doses equal to those used in clinical trials. Concentrations high enough to have an antimicrobial effect were attained, but the xylitol disappeared from the saliva within 15 minutes, which indicates that high peak concentrations may be more important for efficacy than the time for which the concentration exceeds the level needed for an antimicrobial effect. To find a more convenient dosing regime for xylitol prophylaxis, xylitol was administered to 1277 children only during an acute respiratory infection (ARI) in a randomised placebo-controlled trial. The occurrence of AOM during ARI was 34/166 (20.5%) in the xylitol mixture group as compared with 32/157 (20.4%) among the children receiving the control mixture. Among older children receiving control chewing gum, xylitol chewing gum or xylitol lozenges, AOM was experienced by 24/218 (11.0%), 31/220 (14.1%) and 34/219 (15.5%) respectively. None of the differences between the groups was statistically significant. Xylitol should be used continuously in AOM prophylaxis, as it proved ineffective when used only during URI.

Abstract:

Acute otitis media (AOM) is the most common diagnosis for which antibiotics are prescribed for children in the United States. Previous trials evaluating an optional antibiotic prescription are limited and have significant limitations. None have evaluated an optional prescription in the urgent care setting. We conducted a randomized, controlled trial in an urban emergency department in which children aged 6 months to 12 years diagnosed with AOM were randomly assigned a "wait-and-see prescription" (WASP) or a "standard treatment prescription" (STP). Structured phone interviews were conducted 4-6, 11-14, and 30-40 days after enrollment to determine the proportion of each group that filled the antibiotic prescription and outcomes related to the clinical course. Substantially more parents in the WASP group (N=138) did not fill the antibiotic prescription compared to the STP group (N=145) (62% vs. 13%; P<0.001). There were no statistically significant differences between the groups in the frequency of subsequent fever, otalgia or unscheduled visits for medical care. Within the WASP group, both fever (OR = 4.0, 95% confidence interval, 1.7-9.5) and otalgia (OR = 4.5, 95% confidence interval, 1.7-11.5) were associated with filling the prescription. The WASP approach substantially reduced unnecessary use of antibiotics in children and is a reasonable alternative to routine use of antimicrobials for treatment of AOM.

Abstract:

Otitis Media is one of the most common childhood diseases. Recurrent acute otitis media RAOM is characterized by repeated episodes of inflammation of the middle ear in conjunction with middle ear fluid, and often with an inflamed or bulging eardrum. Defective clearance by the Eustachian tube results in mucus build-up and is characteristic of otitis media with effusion (OME). Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis, respiratory syncytial virus, and rhinovirus are the most common contributors to otitis media pathogenesis. In New Zealand, OME has been implicated with conductive hearing loss in childhood and has been shown to significantly impact on speech and language development. New Zealand Māori and Polynesian children have displayed significantly higher hearing test failure rates than European-Caucasian children. The collectins, Surfactant Protein (SP)-A and -D are encoded by three genes (SP-A1, SP-A2, and SP-D) and are host defense proteins present in the middle ear and Eustachian tube. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in SP-A1 and SP-A2 have been associated with increased or decreased susceptibility to otitis media, meningococcal disease, and range of respiratory diseases. Using allele-specific primers and real-time PCR with SYBR Green I melting curve analysis, four groups of individuals were genotyped for eleven SP-A1, SP-A2, and SP-D SNPs: European-Caucasian individuals with RAOM/OME; New Zealand Māori/Polynesian individuals with RAOM/OME; individuals with meningococcal disease; and a control group. The computer program, Haploview, was employed to perform χ2 analyses and identify statistically significant associations of alleles/haplotypes with RAOM/OME or meningococcal disease. In the European-Caucasian population, two SP-A1 alleles, one SP-A2 allele, and four haplotypes (CGAGC, 1A3, 1A9, and 1A10) were found to be associated with increased risk of RAOM/OME (P lt; 0.05). Conversely, haplotypes 6A2 and 1A2 were found to be protective against susceptibility to RAOM/OME (P lt; 0.05). In New Zealand Māori and Polynesian individuals, two SP-A1 alleles, three SP-A2 alleles, one SP-D allele, and four haplotypes (6A8, 6A10, 1A3, and 1A10) were found to be associated with increased risk of RAOM/OME (P lt; 0.05). An additional four haplotypes (6A2, 1A0, 1A2, and TA) were determined to be protective against susceptibility to RAOM/OME (P lt; 0.05). However, protective SPA1/SPA2/SPD haplotype 6A2-1A0-TA was significantly under-represented in the New Zealand Māori and Polynesian population (P lt; 0.05). A single allele and haplotype were associated with increased risk of meningococcal disease (P lt; 0.05). The findings of this study confirm that specific genetic variants of SP-A and SP-D are associated with either increased or decreased risk of developing RAOM and/or OME. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that New Zealand Māori and Polynesian individuals appear to exhibit more haplotypes susceptible to RAOM/OME. This may provide a partial explanation for the higher RAOM/OME-related failure rates of hearing tests in New Zealand Māori and Polynesian children. However, there are numerous socio-economic and environmental factors that also contribute to otitis media pathogenesis which were not considered in this study. The effects of the SP-A1, SP-A2, and SP-D alleles and haplotypes on the bacterial/viral binding efficiencies of SP-A and SP-D need to be investigated by further research, using a large population, to confirm the association with susceptibility or resistance with RAOM/OME.

Abstract:

Background and aims: Most respiratory tract infections (RTI) are self-limiting. Despite this, they are associated with high antibiotic prescription rates in general practice in Sweden. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the management of respiratory tract infections (RTIs) with particular emphasis on acute otitis media (AOM). Methods: Paper I: A prospective, open, randomized study of 179 children presenting with AOM and performed in primary care. Paper II & III: Study of 6 years data from primary care in Kalmar County on visits for RTI, retrieved from electronic patient records. Paper IV: Observational, clinical study of 71 children presenting with AOM complicated by perforation, without initial use of antibiotics. Results: Children with AOM who received PcV had some less pain, used fewer analgesics and consulted less, but the PcV treatment did not affect the recovery time or complication rate (I). Between 1999 and 2005, 240 445 visits for RTI were analyzed (II & III). Antibiotics were prescribed in 45% of visits, mostly PcV (60%) and doxycycline (18%). Visiting rates for AOM and tonsillitis declined by >10%/year, but prescription rates of antibiotics remained unchanged. For sore throat, 65% received antibiotics. Patients tested but without presence of S.pyogenes received antibiotics in 40% of cases. CRP was analyzed in 36% of consultations for RTI. At CRP<50mg/l antibiotics, mostly doxycycline, were prescribed in 54% of visits for bronchitis. Roughly 50% of patients not tested received antibiotics over the years.Twelve of 71 children with AOM and spontaneous perforation completing the trial received antibiotics during the first nine days due to lack of improvement, one child after 16 days due to recurrent AOM and six had new incidents of AOM after 30 days (IV). Antibiotics were used more frequently when the eardrum appeared pulsating and secretion was purulent and abundant. All patients with presence of S.pyogenes received antibiotics.

Abstract:

Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of antibiotic treatment and surgery on acute otitis media (AOM), and to evaluate quality of life (QoL) among children with AOM and their parents. To evaluate the effectiveness of antibiotics, a total of 82 children with AOM were randomized for antibiotic or placebo treatment for 7 days. The duration of middle ear effusion was measured by daily tympanometry screenings at home over 2 weeks. Duration was also measured at clinical visits, including at entry, after 3 days, after 7 days, and then weekly until both ears were healthy according to pneumatic otoscopy or otomicroscopy, or for a maximum of 2 months. Among the group receiving antibiotics, middle ear effusion disappeared 2.0 weeks earlier than among those receiving placebo (P<0.02). On day 14, 69% of children in the antibiotic group and 38% in the placebo group had normal tympanometry findings (P=0.02). On day 60, 5% of children in the antibiotic group and 24% in the placebo group had persistent middle ear effusion (P=0.01). The effect of surgery was assessed by randomly assigning 300 children with recurrent AOM, aged 10 months to 2 years, into 3 groups: 1. to receive ventilation tubes (VTs), 2. to receive VTs and adenoidectomy and 3. non-surgery. Follow-up of children occurred at clinical visits every 4 months for a 1-year period. If children suffered from upper respiratory symptoms or their parents suspected AOM during this period they were encouraged to receive additional follow-up care. Intervention was considered unsuccessful if a child had 2 AOM episodes in 2 months, 3 episodes in 6 months or persistent effusion lasting for 2 months. Intervention failed in 34% of children in the non-surgery group, 21% in the VT group (P=0.04 compared to non-surgery) and 16% in the group with VT and adenoidectomy (P=0.004 compared to non-surgery). QoL was assessed among 159 children participating in the study on the effect of surgery in children with recurrent AOM. We used disease-specific (Otitis Media-6) and generic instruments (Child Health Questionnaire-50) to measure QoL among children with AOM and their parents, and the effect of surgery on QoL. Children with AOM and their parents had a significantly poorer QoL than healthy children. QoL improved significantly at 1-year follow-up, but it did not reach the level observed in healthy children. Surgery did not have any additional impact on QoL
Tiivistelmä Työn tavoitteena oli tutkia antibiootin ja kirurgian vaikutusta äkilliseen välikorvatulehdukseen sekä tutkia välikorvatulehduksia sairastavien lasten ja heidän vanhempiensa elämänlaatua. 82 äkillistä välikorvatulehdusta sairastavaa lasta satunnaistettiin saamaan joko antibiootti- tai lumelääkettä. Välikorvaeritteen poistumista seurattiin kotona päivittäisillä tympanometriamittauksilla kahden viikon ajan. Seurantakäynnit olivat yhden, kolmen ja seitsemän päivän kuluttua sekä viikoittain, kunnes korvat oli todettu terveiksi pneumaattisella otoskoopilla tai korvamikroskoopilla tai kahden kuukauden seuranta-aika päättyi. Välikorvaerite poistui kaksi viikkoa aikaisemmin antibiootti- kuin lumelääkkeellä (P<0.02). Tympanometria normalisoitui kahden viikon kuluttua 69 %:lla antibioottiryhmästä ja 38 %:lla lumelääkeryhmästä (P=0.02). 60 päivän kuluttua välikorvaeritettä oli 5 %:lla antibioottiryhmästä ja 24 %:lla lumelääkeryhmästä (P=0.02). Kirurgian vaikuttavuutta toistuviin äkillisiin välikorvatulehduksiin tutkittiin satunnaistamalla 300 10–24 kk:n ikäistä lasta saamaan ilmastointiputket tai sekä ilmastointiputket että kitarisanpoisto tai ei kumpaakaan. Seurantakäynnit olivat neljän kuukauden välein vuoden ajan tai aina kun lapset sairastuivat ylähengitystietulehdukseen tai vanhemmat epäilivät välikorvatulehdusta. Interventio katsottiin epäonnistuneeksi (äkillisiä välikorvatulehduksia 2 / 2 kk, 3 / 6 kk tai jatkuva erite 2 kk) 34 %:lla ilman kirurgiaa hoidetuista lapsista, 21 %:lla ilmastointiputkiryhmän lapsista (P=0.04 verrattuna ilman kirurgiaa hoidettuihin) ja 16 %:lla lapsista, joille tehtiin sekä kitarisan poisto että asetettiin ilmastointiputket (P=0.004 verrattuna ilman kirurgiaa hoidettuihin). Elämänlaadun, äkillisen välikorvatulehduksen sekä siihen liittyvän kirurgian välistä yhteyttä selvitettiin 159 lapsella, jotka osallistuivat kirurgian vaikuttavuutta selvittävään tutkimukseen. Elämänlaatua mitattiin sekä tautikohtaisilla (Otitis Media-6) että yleistä elämänlaatua (Child Health Questionnaire-50) mittaavilla kyselylomakkeilla. Äkillistä välikorvatulehdusta sairastavilla lapsilla ja heidän vanhemmillaan oli merkittävästi huonompi elämänlaatu kuin terveillä. Elämänlaatu parani merkittävästi vuoden seuranta-aikana, mutta ei saavuttanut terveiden tasoa. Kirurgia ei tuonut mitään lisähyötyä elämänlaatuun

Abstract:

Comparing Narrow- vs. Broad-Spectrum Antibiotics for Common Infections in Children. The choice of antibiotic to treat acute bacterial upper respiratory tract infections in children can affect both symptom resolution and the risk of side effects such as diarrhea and vomiting. The findings of a PCORI-funded study published in JAMA can help clinicians treating children for acute respiratory tract infections (ARTIs)—including acute otitis media, Group A streptococcal pharyngitis, and acute sinusitis—make decisions with parents about the medicine that is best for the child. The study, led by Jeffrey Gerber, a pediatrician and researcher at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, included 30,086 children ages 6 months to 12 years taking narrow- and broad-spectrum antibiotics to treat ARTIs.
