Haitham El-Farargy, Dina Adam
Abstract: The role of infection in pathogenesis of OME is still the subject of debate. In this study, bacterial growth (especially Alloiococcus) was found in (77.93 %) of cultured samples. This encourages usage of adequate course (2 weeks) of the appropriate dose of antibiotic (especially Amoxicillin and clavunic acid) in eradication of the micro-organism from the middle ear, subsequently the inflammatory process of the mucosa, helping in early resolution of OME without its complication
