Clinical specimens from 243 patients attending the ENT clinics at King Abdul Aziz University Hospital, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia were investigated for the pathogens attributing to otitis media and tonsillitis. In children as well as in adults with otitis media, the main bacterial causative organisms were Staph, aureus and Ps. aeruginosa; Asp. flavus was detected in 1% and 4% of adult and children cases of otitis media. In tonsillitis H. influenzae, Strept. pneumoniae, Staph. aureus, Strept. gr. A were isolated in only 18% of the children and Strept. pneumoniae, Strept. gr A in 16% of adults. A possible involvement of viruses in tonsillitis is indicated.
对沙特阿拉伯利雅得阿卜杜勒阿齐兹国王大学医院耳鼻喉科门诊的243例患者的临床标本进行了调查，以确定导致中耳炎和扁桃体炎的病原体。在患有中耳炎的儿童和成人中，主要的细菌病原体是金黄色葡萄球菌和铜绿假单胞菌；在1%的成人和4%的儿童中耳炎病例中检测到黄曲霉。在扁桃体炎患者中，仅在18%的儿童中分离出流感嗜血杆菌、肺炎链球菌、金黄色葡萄球菌、A组链球菌，在16%的成人中分离出肺炎链球菌、A组链球菌。这表明病毒可能与扁桃体炎有关。
