[Otitis media in the child. Follow-up study and control of 104 cases].

The authors report a case-study on 104 children admitted for many reasons to the I Department of Pediatrics of the A. Meyer Hospital in the period 1979-81. During their hospitalization, otitis media was diagnosed in all these cases. The children later underwent two check-ups including otorhinolaryngologic and tympanometric tests and in some cases an audiometric examination. A correlation between otitis media and enlarged adenoids was noticed and the results of the present case-study are compared with other international publications, following the short bibliography.
