To assess the effects of topical antibiotics for people with chronic suppurative otitis media.

To assess the effects of adding a topical steroid to topical antibiotics in the treatment of people with chronic suppurative otitis media

These data provide evidence that otitis-prone children do not have impaired functional cell mediated immunity

This Clinical Puzzle article describes our current knowledge of chronic otitis media and the existing research models for this condition

The production of functional antipneumococcal antibodies in otitisprone children demonstrates that they respond to the current pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV)and are likely to respond to pneumolysin-based vaccines as effectively as healthy children.

Our findings are in line with a number of epidemiological studies which show a positive association between breastfeeding and OM in early childhood

Conserved vaccine candidate proteins from S.pneumoniae induce serum and salivary antibody responses in Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal children with history of OM

Identified dominant PCR-ribotypes common to geographically disparate Australian paediatric populations

Otitis media (OM) is a significant health concern, particularly among Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander children who experience one of the highest rates of OM globally. This study aimed to evaluate the use and differences of wideband absorbance at ambient pressure (WBA) among urban Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander and non-Aboriginal children with suspected OM based on standard tympanometry.

The introduction of universal newborn hearing screening has allowed for early identification and diagnosis of children with severe-profound hearing loss. This study aims to provide the first Western Australian perspective on the surgical feasibility and safety of cochlear implantation before 12 months of age.
