URTI,definition,pathophysiology& etiologyy URTI are those 1rly affecting the structures
above the larynx, but most RI affect bothupper & lower RT simultaneously or
sequentially.
y Inflammatory infiltrates & edema of themucosa, vascular congestion, Kmucussecretion & alteration of ciliary structure &
function.
yMost caused by viruses&Mycoplasma exceptfor epiglottitis.

Acute Otitis Mediay Defined bythe presence of fluid in the middle ear
accompanied byacute signs of illness.
y
Most prevalent in infancy.
y Fluid maypersist for weeks to months despite Rx withantibiotics.
y Hearing loss with subsequent speech, language andcognitive disabilities are the most common risks.
y In developing countries, suppurative infections asmeningitis and mastoiditis remain importantcomplications.

Pathogenesis ofAOMy Patient with antecedent event (URTI or allergy).y Congestion of respiratorymucosa of the nose, nasopharynx
and ET.
y Congestion of mucosa of ET obstructs the narrowestportion of the tube, the isthmus.
y Obstruction causes ve pressure followed byaccumulationof secretions produced bythe mucosa of the middle ear.
y Viruses & bacteria that colonize the URT reach the middle
ear via aspiration, reflux.y Microbial growth in the middle ear secretions mayresult in
suppuration with clinical signs of AOM.y The MEE persist for wks to moths after sterilization.

Microbiologyy Bacteria: S.Pn, H.influenza, M. catarrhalis.
y Viruses: RSV, rhinoviruses, influenza viruses, and

and C.Pneumoniae.
y Tuberculous OM remains a cause of severe middle ear
disease.

Management ofAOMy AAP 2004 guidelines concludes observation without use of
antimicrobial therapyis an option for selected childrenwith uncomplicated AOM based on diagnostic certainty,
age, illness severity, and assurance of follow up.

Management ofAOM, conty For > 2yrs, antibiotics if diagnosis is certain and illness is
severe. Observation is an option when diagnosis is certainand illness not severe and in patients with uncertain
diagnosis.
y Observation is onlyappropriate when follow-up can beensured and antibiotics initiated if symptoms got worse.
y
Amoxicillin remains the drug of choice, because iseffective, safe, inexpensive, and has a narrow spectrum. 40-80 mg/kg/daydivided into 2 doses for 10 days for < 2yearsand 5-7days for > 2years.

Otitis Media with Effusion (OME)
y Serous OM or glue ear.y OME is the presence of middle ear effusion in the
absence of acute signs of infection.y Encompasses one of the two categories of COM.y Arise after a recognized or unrecognized episode of
AOM.y Accompanied byconductive hearing loss.y Prolonged hearing impairment during 1st years of
life mayaffect development of speech andlanguage.

Clinical Manifestations ofOMEy Acute illness usuallyabsent, sleep disturbance,
hearing loss, vertigo.y Diagnosis with pneumatic otoscopydemonstrates
immobilityof TM with +ve pressure,tympanometryalso helpful.
y Hearing evaluation at time of diagnosis of OME(learning problems, language delay, hearing loss).
y Speech and language evaluation( OME >3mths)y Natural historyof OME is spontaneous
resolutiondays-months.
-

25/68
Management ofOMEy Depends on +/- structural damage to TM or ME or speech,
language or learning problems, and severityof hearing loss.
y Prompt surgical referral for structural damage to TM orME( e.g. cholesteatoma).
y Surgical referral for children w OME with hearing lossindependent on OME, speech or language disorder,
developmental delayand uncorrectable visual impairment.
y Surgical referral for hearing loss> 21dB, bilateral OME >3mths, unilateral OME > 6mths.
