|
Objective: In children with acute otitis media, we investigated the relationship between state of tympanic membrane and treatment period by video otoscope.
Methods: Ten children(6 boys, 4 girls) with acute otitis media were assigned to one of three groups. In the grade I, there were redness in the tympanic membrane. In the grade II, there were bulging, effusion with exudate, dark color in the tympanic membrane. In the grade III, there were effusion with purulent exudate or cholesteatoma with serous exudate. And we investigated the treatment period in each group.
Results: Overall, the mean?S.D on the treatment period in the grade I was shorter than grade II. It was 12.6?5.18 in the grade I versus 26?2.83 in the grade II. That in the grade II was shorter than grade III. It was 26?2.83 in the grade II versus 148?43.03 in the grade III.
Conclusions: Although we couldn’t have enough cases in each group. we could predict the conclusion that there was the relationship between treatment period and state of tympanic membrane.
