The importance of infection in the etiology of otitis media and the role of eustachian tube obstruction in the pathogenesis of otitis media with effusion are well known. Recently, allergic rhinitis has been documented to induce eustachian tube obstruction. When allergic rhinitis is diagnosed in a child with recurrent or chronic middle ear disease, allergy should be considered as another risk factor for the development of otitis media with effusion.
感染在中耳炎病因学中的重要性以及咽鼓管阻塞在分泌性中耳炎发病机制中的作用已广为人知。最近，已有文献证明变应性鼻炎可导致咽鼓管阻塞。当在患有复发性或慢性中耳疾病的儿童中诊断出变应性鼻炎时，应将变应性视为分泌性中耳炎发生的另一个危险因素。
