RESUMO

Introducción: Estudios recientes señalan un aumento de la prevalencia de Haemophilus influenzae y una disminución de Streptococcus pneumoniae entre las bacterias causantes de otitis media aguda (OMA). El objetivo del estudio es conocer la distribución de microorganismos patógenos identificados en Urgencias en los menores de 14 años con OMA y su patrón de resistencias. Pacientes y métodos: Estudio retrospectivo, analítico y unicéntrico incluyendo pacientes menores de 14 años diagnosticados de OMA en los que se recogió un cultivo de secreción ótica en el servicio de urgencias pediátricas de un hospital terciario entre 2013 y 2021. Resultados: Durante el periodo de estudio se registraron 14.684 episodios con diagnóstico de OMA, recogiéndose en 768 cultivo de secreción ótica. La mediana de edad fue de 2 años, el 57% varones y el 70% habían presentado al menos una OMA previa. Los patógenos más frecuentemente aislados fueron: Haemophilus influenzae, 188 (24,5%; de ellos, 15,5% resistentes a ampicilina); Streptococcus pyogenes, 86 (11,2%); Staphylococcus aureus, 82 (10,7%); Streptococcus pneumoniae, 54 (6,9%; de ellos, 9,4% con resistencia intermedia a penicilina); Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 42 (5,5%) y Moraxella catarrhalis, 11 (1,4%). En el 34,9% no se aislaron patógenos. Conclusiones: Haemophilus influenzae es la primera causa de OMA en menores de 14 años. Este hecho, junto a la baja tasa de aislamientos y resistencia a penicilina de Streptococcus pneumoniae, cuestiona la idoneidad de la amoxicilina a dosis elevadas como tratamiento antibiótico empírico de la OMA.(AU)


Introduction: Recent studies show an increase in the prevalence of Haemophilus influenzae and a decrease in Streptococcus pneumoniae among the bacteria that cause acute otitis media (AOM). The objective of our study was to analyse the distribution of pathogens identified in children aged less than 14 years presenting to the emergency department with AOM and their patterns of antimicrobial resistance. Patients and methods: Single centre retrospective, analytical study in patients aged less than 14 years with a diagnosis of AOM in whom an ear drainage sample was collected for culture in the paediatric emergency department of a tertiary care hospital between 2013 and 2021. Results: During the study period, there were 14,684 documented care episodes corresponding to children with a diagnosis of AOM. An ear drainage culture was performed in 768 of those episodes. The median age of the patients was 2 years, 57% were male and 70% had a previous history of AOM. The most frequently isolated pathogens were: Haemophilus influenzae (n=188 [24.5%]; 15.5% of them resistant to ampicillin), Streptococcus pyogenes (n=86 [11.2%]), Staphylococcus aureus (n=82 [10.7%]), Streptococcus pneumoniae (n=54 [6.9%]; 9.4% with intermediate resistance to penicillin), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (n=42 [5.5%]) and Moraxella catarrhalis (n=11 [1.4%]). No pathogen was isolated in 34.9% of cases. Conclusions: Haemophilus influenzae is the leading cause of AOM in children aged less than 14 years. This, combined with the low frequency of isolation and penicillin resistance of Streptococcus pneumoniae, calls into question the appropriateness of high-dose amoxicillin for empiric treatment of AOM.(AU)

RESUMO

Fundamento y objetivo: analizar el grado de adecuación a las guías terapéuticas de consenso de las prescripciones por parte de los pediatras de Atención Primaria (AP) en casos de faringoamigdalitis aguda (FAA) y otitis media aguda (OMA). Material y métodos: estudio observacional retrospectivo con obtención de datos de los registros electrónicos de las historias clínicas de los pacientes con OMA supurada y FAA estreptocócica en pacientes de 0 a 14 años que residen en Álava (País Vasco, España), en 18 meses de estudio. Resultados: en el grupo de pacientes con OMA supurada han sido evaluados 238 episodios obteniendo un grado de adecuación terapéutica del 56,7% y siendo la infradosificación la principal causa de inadecuación. En el grupo de pacientes con FAA estreptocócica han sido evaluados 1721 episodios obteniendo un grado de adecuación terapéutica del 57%, siendo las principales causas de inadecuación la sobredosificación y las pautas de corta duración. Conclusiones: tanto en OMA supurada como en FAA estreptocócica el grado de adecuación terapéutica es algo más bajo comparado con otros estudios analizados. Ambos procesos infecciosos son de frecuentes diagnóstico y tratamiento en AP, razón por la cual es de vital importancia la mejora en su adecuado tratamiento. Otro punto de mejora es el correcto registro en la historia clínica de los pacientes. (AU)


Background and objective: to analyse the degree of adherence of primary care paediatricians to consensus treatment guidelines for acute pharyngotonsillitis and acute otitis media. Material and methods: retrospective observational study with collection of data from the electronic health records of patients with suppurative AOM and streptococcal AP in patients aged 0 to 14 years residing in Araba over an 18-month period. Results: in the group of patients with suppurative AOM, 238 episodes were evaluated, with a proportion of appropriate prescribing of 56.7% and underdosing as the main reason of inappropriate prescribing. In the group of patients with streptococcal AP, 1721 episodes were evaluated, with a proportion of appropriate prescribing of 57%, and the main causes of inappropriate prescribing being prescription of excessive doses and short-duration regimens. Conclusion: in both suppurative AOM and streptococcal AP, the frequency of appropriate prescribing was somewhat lower compared to other studies. Achieving appropriate treatment for these diseases in primary care settings is of vital importance due to their high incidence. Ensuring correct documentation in patient health records is another opportunity for improvement. (AU)

RESUMO

Introducción: La infección por SARS-COV-2 es una enfermedad emergente que se ha convertido en pandemia mundial desde inicios del año 2020. Para disminuir el contagio se han impuesto medidas por parte de los gobiernos como son el confinamiento domiciliario, el uso de mascarillas, el distanciamiento social o la promoción de la higiene de manos. El objetivo de este estudio es determinar si las medidas adoptadas para frenar la pandemia COVID-19 han producido una disminución de la incidencia de enfermedades infecciosas y sus complicaciones en el área ORL en nuestro medio. Material y métodos Se realizó un estudio descriptivo retrospectivo en un hospital terciario de pacientes con edades comprendidas entre 0 y 15 años que precisaron ingreso por presentar infecciones cervicales profundas, complicaciones derivadas de otitis media aguda (mastoiditis o parálisis facial) o sinusitis aguda complicada. Resultados Existe una disminución reseñable en el número de ingresos globales en el periodo COVID (9) respecto a la media de los cinco años previos (20,1). Asimismo, existen diferencias estadísticamente significativas en el número de ingresos de infecciones cervicales (p = 0,027) y de complicaciones derivadas de otitis media aguda (p = 0,029). Discusión/conclusión Se ha observado una disminución del número de ingresos provocados por complicaciones de infecciones del área ORL en pacientes pediátricos tras el inicio de la pandemia COVID-19 en nuestro medio, este hecho podría explicarse por una disminución global del número de infecciones de vía respiratoria superior debido a las medidas higiénicas tomadas por la pandemia COVID-19. (AU)


Introduction: SARS COV-2 infection is an emerging disease that has become a global pandemic since the beginning of 2020. To reduce transmission, measures have been imposed by governments such as home confinement, the use of masks, social distancing or promotion of hand hygiene. The aim of this study is to determine if the measures adopted to reduce the COVID-19 pandemic have produced a decrease in the incidence of infectious diseases and their complications in the ENT area in our center. Material and methods A retrospective descriptive study was carried out in a tertiary hospital of patients aged between 0 and 15 years who required admission due to deep cervical infections, complications derived from acute otitis media (mastoiditis or facial paralysis) or complicated acute sinusitis. Results There is a notable decrease in the number of global admissions in the COVID period (9) compared to the average of the previous 5 years (20.1). Likewise, there are statistically significant differences in the number of admissions for cervical infections (P = .027) and complications derived from acute otitis media (P = .029). Discussion/conclusion A decrease in the number of admissions caused by complications of infections in the ENT area in paediatric patients has been observed after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in our environment, this fact could be explained by a global decrease in the number of infections of the upper respiratory tract due to the hygienic measures taken by the COVID-19 pandemic.

RESUMO

Update of the consensus on acute otitis media (AOM) (2012) and sinusitis (2013) following the introduction of pneumococcal vaccines in the immunization schedule, and related changes, such as epidemiological variation, colonization by of nonvaccine serotypes and emerging antimicrobial resistances. A majority of studies show that the introduction of the pneumococcal 13-valent conjugate vaccine has been followed by a reduction in the nasopharyngeal carriage of pneumococcus, with an increase in the proportion of drug-resistant nonvaccine serotypes. The diagnosis of AOM is still clinical, although more stringent criteria are proposed, which are based on the visualization of abnormalities in the tympanic membrane and the findings of pneumatic otoscopy performed by trained clinicians. The routine diagnosis of sinusitis is also clinical, and the use of imaging is restricted to the assessment of complications. Analgesia with acetaminophen or ibuprofen is the cornerstone of AOM management; watchful waiting or delayed antibiotic prescription may be suitable strategies in select patients. The first-line antibiotic drug in children with AOM and sinusitis and moderate to severe disease is still high-dose amoxicillin, or amoxicillin-clavulanic acid in select cases. Short-course regimens lasting 5-7 days are recommended for patients with uncomplicated disease, no risk factors and a mild presentation. In allergic patients, the selection of the antibiotic agent must be individualized based on severity and whether or not the allergy is IgE-mediated. In recurrent AOM, the choice between watchful waiting, antibiotic prophylaxis or surgery must be individualized based on the clinical characteristics of the patient.

RESUMO

Actualización de los documentos de consenso de OMA (2012) y sinusitis (2013) tras la introducción de las vacunas antineumocócicas en el calendario vacunal, tras los cambios derivados de las variaciones epidemiológicas, colonización por serotipos no vacunales y la aparición de resistencias. Según la mayoría de los estudios, la introducción de la vacuna antineumocócica conjugada tridecavalente (VNC-13) se ha traducido en un descenso de la colonización nasofaríngea por neumococo, con un aumento porcentual de serotipos resistentes no cubiertos. El diagnóstico de la OMA continúa siendo clínico, aunque se proponen criterios más rigurosos, apoyados en la visualización de alteraciones en la membrana timpánica y la otoscopia neumática realizada por personal entrenado. El diagnóstico rutinario de la sinusitis es clínico y la realización de pruebas de imagen está limitada al diagnóstico de complicaciones asociadas. La analgesia con paracetamol o ibuprofeno es la base del tratamiento en la OMA; la conducta expectante o la prescripción antibiótica diferida podrían ser estrategias adecuadas en pacientes seleccionados. El tratamiento antibiótico de elección en niños con OMA y sinusitis aguda con síntomas moderados-graves continúa siendo la amoxicilina a dosis altas o la amoxicilina-clavulánico en casos seleccionados. En cuadros no complicados, sin factores de riesgo y con buena evolución se proponen pautas cortas de 5-7 días. En pacientes alérgicos se debe individualizar especialmente la indicación de tratamiento antibiótico, que dependerá del estado clínico y si existe o no alergia IgE-mediada. En la OMA recurrente, la elección entre un manejo expectante, profilaxis antibiótica o cirugía se debe individualizar según las características del paciente. (AU)

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Acute otitis media (AOM) is one of the most prevalent acute conditions in the pediatric population worldwide. This work aimed to elaborate a Clinical Practice Guideline with clinical recommendations systematically developed to assist decision-making of specialists, patients, caregivers, and public policymakers involved in managing patients with AOM in children. METHODS: This document was developed by the College of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology and Head, and Neck Surgery of Mexico (COPEME) in compliance with international standards. The SIGN quality of evidence classification was used. On behalf of the COPEME, the Guideline Development Group (GDG) was integrated, including otolaryngologists, infectologists, pediatricians, general practitioners, and methodologists with experience in systematic literature reviews and the development of clinical practice guidelines. RESULTS: A consensus was reached on 18 clinical questions, covering what was previously established by the GDG in the scope document of the guidelines. Scientific evidence answering each of these clinical questions was identified and critically evaluated. The GDG agreed on the final wording of the clinical recommendations using the modified Delphi panel technique. Specialists and patient representatives conducted an external validation. CONCLUSIONS: This Clinical Practice Guideline presents clinical recommendations for the prevention, diagnosis, and management of AOM to assist shared decision-making among physicians, patients, and caregivers and improve the quality of clinical care.

RESUMO

Introducción: La COVID-19 es una enfermedad que ha mostrado una baja morbilidad y mortalidad en pediatría. Las crisis febriles constituyen una de las causas más frecuentes de admisión en los servicios de urgencia y de interconsultas con el neuropediatra. Objetivo: Interpretar la presencia de crisis febril simple en pacientes admitidos en servicios de urgencia pediátricos como manifestación inicial de COVID-19. Presentación del caso: Paciente femenina de un año de edad, con antecedentes de salud anterior que acude al cuerpo de guardia con fiebre de 38 ℃; y crisis motora, de inicio generalizada, tónico-clónica, que cedió con medidas antitérmicas. Por protocolo se realiza punción lumbar la cual resulta negativa. Se ingresa, 24 horas después comienza con manifestaciones catarrales, se hace otoscopia y se diagnostica una otitis media aguda, por lo que se inicia tratamiento antibiótico. Se realiza la prueba de reacción en cadena de la polimerasa para la COVID-19 con resultado positivo, por lo que se remite para el Hospital Pediátrico San Miguel del Padrón. Conclusiones: Se debe sospechar la presencia de COVID-19 ante paciente que acude a servicio de urgencias por una crisis febril, como único problema de salud. LA COVID-19 es una enfermedad que ha demostrado que se puede presentar de diversas formas(AU)


Introduction: COVID-19 is a disease that has shown low morbidity and mortality in pediatrics. Febrile crises are one of the most common causes of admission to emergency services and consultations with the neuropediatrician. Objective: Interpret the presence of simple febrile crisis in patients admitted to pediatric emergency services as an initial manifestation of COVID-19. Case presentation: One-year-old female patient, with a previous health history, who is attended in the emergency service with a fever of 38 ℃; and motor crisis, of widespread onset, with tonic-clonic seizures, which yielded with antypiretic measures. By protocol, lumbar puncture is performed which is negative. She was admitted, and 24 hours later there is an onset of catarrhal manifestations; an otoscopy is performed and acute otitis media is diagnosed, so antibiotic treatment is initiated. The polymerase chain reaction test for COVID-19 (PCR) is performed with a positive result, so, the patient is referred to the San Miguel del Padrón Pediatric Hospital. Conclusions: COVID-19 should be suspected in patients who attend to the emergency services due to a febrile crisis as the only health problem. COVID-19 is a disease that has been shown to occur in a variety of ways(AU)

RESUMO

La otitis media aguda (OMA) es una patología muy común en pediatría y constituye la indicación más frecuente de prescripción de antibióticos en la infancia. Para el diagnóstico se tienen en cuenta hallazgos en la otoscopia, diversos signos clínicos y el tiempo de evolución de los síntomas principales. La decisión de iniciar antibioticoterapia debe determinarse según cada paciente. La espera vigilante como alternativa a la antibioticoterapia inmediata en casos seleccionados reduce el uso de antibióticos sin aumentar el riesgo de daño al paciente y ha demostrado ser una medida costo-efectiva. El fármaco de elección para el tratamiento empírico de la OMA es la amoxicilina, aunque según nuestros resultados es la amoxicilina-IBL la utilizada como primera línea en ambos servicios.


Acute otitis media (AOM) is a pathology commonly found in pediatrics, and the most frequent cause of antibiotics prescription in infants. For its diagnostics, several criteria are taken in consideration, such as otoscopy observations, diverse clinical signs, and the time of evolution of the main symptoms. The decision to initiate antibiotic therapy must be determined particularly for each patient. As an alternative to immediate antibiotic therapy, watchful waiting is preferred in certain cases to reduce the antibiotic use without elevating the patients' risk and has been proven to be a cost-effective approach. The preferred drug for empiric antibiotic therapy in AOM is amoxicillin, although we have observed that the first choice in both our services, pediatrics and otorhinolaryngology, is amoxicillin-IBL.

RESUMO

Introducción: La enfermedad neumocócica afecta prioritariamente a las personas en las edades extremas de la vida. En este sentido, el Hospital Docente Infantil Sur Dr. Antonio María Béguez César constituye un sitio de vigilancia centinela del Proyecto Nacional Neumococo, lo cual sirvió de motivación para desarrollar la presente investigación sobre esta enfermedad. Objetivo: Describir las características epidemiológicas, clínicas, microbiológicas e imagenológicas en pacientes menores de 5 años ingresados por presentar enfermedad neumocócica. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional, descriptivo y prospectivo de 170 pacientes menores de 5 años de edad, ingresados en el mencionado centro hospitalario en el período 2014-2016 por presentar enfermedad neumocócica. Resultados: En la serie predominaron la supresión precoz de la lactancia materna (52,3 %) y la existencia de fumadores convivientes (44,7 %) como principales factores de riesgo, además de la fiebre (100,0 %), la tos (96,0 %), el tiraje (74,1%) y la polipnea (70,0 %) como síntomas más frecuentes; mientras que la neumonía se presentó en 82,3 % y hubo 10,0 % de positividad al neumococo, por serotipos 19A, 19F, 14 y 6A, con 66,6 % de colonización en lactantes. Por su parte, la letalidad y la mortalidad proporcional por neumonía fueron de 2,85 y 8,0 %, respectivamente, sin decesos por neumococo. Conclusiones: El aislamiento de neumococo resultó bajo, con predominio en lactantes colonizados y con indicadores de mortalidad por neumonía no neumocócica, lo cual sugiere que la corta edad es un riesgo de deceso por dicha causa.


Introduction: Pneumococcal disease affects mainly people in the extreme ages of life. In this sense, Dr. Antonio María Béguez Caesar Southern Teaching Pediatric Hospital constitutes a place of centinel surveillance of the Pneumococcus National Project, which served as motivation to develop the present investigation on this disease. Objective: To describe the epidemiological, clinical, microbiological and imaging characteristics in patients younger than 5 years admitted due to a pneumoccocical disease. Methods: An observational, descriptive and prospective study of 170 patients younger than 5 years admitted to the above mentioned hospital in the period 2014-2016 was carried out, for presenting pneumoccocal disease. Results: The early suppression of the maternal feeding (52.3 %) and the presence of coexisting smokers (44.7 %) as main risk factors, besides fever (100.0 %), cough (96.0 %), chest indrawing (74.1 %) and polypnea (70.0 %) as the most frequent symptoms prevailed in the series; while the pneumonia was presented in 82.3 % and there was 10.0 % positiveness to pneumoccocus, by serotypes 19A, 19F, 14 and 6A, with 66.6 % colonization in infants. On the other hand, lethality and proportional mortality for pneumonia were of 2.85 and 8.0 %, respectively, without deaths due to pneumoccocus. Conclusions: Pneumoccocus isolation was low, with prevalence in colonized infants and with mortality indicators due to non pneumoccocal pneumonia, which suggests that the short age is a death risk due to this cause.

El diagnóstico de tipo y estadio de otitis media previa o coexistente a la complicación es fundamental para encarar el tratamiento antimicrobiano empírico inicial, sospechar complicaciones endocraneales asociadas y proponer procedimientos quirúrgicos menores, medianos o mayores oportunamente (AU)


Background. Any pediatric or adult patient presenting with acute otitis media (AOM) or chronic otitis media (COM), especially cholesteatomatous, may develop intratemporal and intracranial complications, mainly acute mastoiditis (AM). Objective. To describe the clinical and bacteriological features of patients seen for AM as a complication of AOM and COM. Setting: Department of Otolaryngology, Hospital de Pediatría Juan P. Garrahan. Design. A descriptive, retrospective, cross-sectional, observational study. Population. Patients with AM because of AOM and COM seen at the Department of Otolaryngology over a 10-year period. Material and methods. Review of the clinical charts of all patients treated between January 1999 and December 2008. Results. 57 Patients with AM, 40/57 due to AOM and 17/57 due to COM, were evaluated. Forty children were admitted to hospital with signs and symptoms of AOM-related AM. Intracranial complications were observed in 12.5% (5/40) of the patients. The most frequently isolated pathogens were Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus pneumoniae, H. influenzae, and Turicella Otitidis. Seventeen children were hospitalized because of COM-related AM. Suppurative intracranial complications occurred in 35.3% (6/17) of the cases. The most frequently isolated pathogens were Enterobacteriaceae, P. aeruginosa, and anaerobic bacteria. Conclusion. The diagnosis of type and stage of otitis media prior to or coexisting with the complication is essential to address the initial empirical antimicrobial treatment, associated intracranial complications should be suspected and minor, intermediate, or major surgical procedures should be proposed at the appropriate time (AU)

RESUMO

Los microorganismos más frecuentemente responsables de la otitis media aguda (OMA) (Streptococcus pneumoniae y Haemophilus influenzae) son los mismos en los países en vías de desarrollo que en los desarrollados. En los países que administraron la vacuna antineumocócica conjugada, los neumococos disminuyeron como causa de OMA, pero con el tiempo comenzaron a resurgir, sobre todo a expensas de cepas pertenecientes a serotipos no incluidos en la vacuna. El objetivo de este trabajo fue documentar el cambio generado en la bacteriología de la OMA a partir de la incorporación en el calendario oficial argentino de la vacuna conjugada antineumocócica 13-valente en el año 2012. Se realizaron dos estudios prospectivos, descriptivos, transversales, uno previo a la incorporación de la vacuna al calendario nacional (mayo 2009-agosto 2010) donde la población estudiada no se encontraba cubierta para S. pneumoniae y otro posterior, donde la mayoría de los pacientes se encontraban inmunizados (enero-diciembre 2016). Se obtuvieron 433 muestras de 324 pacientes en el primer período y 461 de 246 pacientes en el segundo. Se aisló un total de 326 bacterias en el primer período y 388 en el segundo. Los microorganismos respectivamente aislados en ambos períodos fueron S. pneumoniae (39,5-21,1%), H. influenzae (37,4-44,6%), Moraxella catarrhalis (6,1-7,5%), Staphylococcus aureus (8,6-9,8%), Streptococcus pyogenes (3,0-5,9%), Turicella otitidis (1,8-2,1%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (0,9-4,1%) y otros (2,4-4,9%). Los neumococos pertenecientes a serotipos vacunales sufrieron una disminución significativa, especialmente el 6A, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, mientras que los serotipos no vacunales aumentaron significativamente, en particular el 15B, el 11A, el 7C, el 16F y el 22F (AU)


Organisms most frequently responsible for acute otitis media (AOM) (Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae) are the same in developing countries as in developed ones. In countries that administered the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, pneumococci decreased as a cause of AOM, but over time began to re-emerge, especially due to strains belonging to serotypes not included in the vaccine. The objective of this work was to document the change generated in the bacteriology of the OMA from the incorporation of the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in 2012 in the official Argentinean calendar. Two prospective, descriptive, cross-sectional studies were carried out prior to the incorporation of the vaccine into the national calendar (May 2009-August 2010), where the population studied was not covered for S. pneumoniae and a subsequent one, where most of the patients were immunized (January 2016-December 2016). We obtained 433 samples from 324 patients in the first period and 461 from 246 patients in the second. A total of 326 bacteria were isolated in the first period and 388 in the second. The microorganisms respectively isolated in both periods were S.pneumoniae (39.5-21.1%), H.influenzae (37.4-44.6%), Moraxella catarrhalis (6.1-7.5%), Staphylococcus aureus (8.6-9.8%), Streptococcus pyogenes (3.0-5.9%), Turicella otitidis (1.8-2.1%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (0.9-4.1%) and others (2.4-4.9%). Pneumococci belonging to vaccine serotypes suffered a significant decrease, especially 6A, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, while nonvaccine serotypes increased significantly, particularly 15B, 11A, 7C, 16F, and 22F (AU)

RESUMO

Resumen La otitis media aguda (OMA) es una enfermedad con alta prevalencia a nivel mundial principalmente en pacientes en edad pediátrica, debido a factores de riesgo propios del grupo etario, como los factores anatómicos y condiciones ambientales (asistencia a guardería, ausencia de lactancia materna y exposición al humo del tabaco, entre otros). El diagnóstico de certeza de la OMA es clínico y se basa en el inicio súbito del padecimiento, signos y síntomas de otitis media y líquido en el oído medio. El método más certero para evaluar la integridad de la membrana timpánica es la otoscopia simple, aunque la variante neumática es la más efectiva para establecer el compromiso en la movilidad de la membrana timpánica. Para la elección del tratamiento adecuado de la OMA se deben considerar diversos factores, entre ellos la edad del paciente, el estadio clínico, si existen tratamientos previos y el tiempo de evolución. La estrategia "esperar y ver" acompañada de analgésicos sistémicos por 48 a 72 horas disminuye la tasa de prescripción innecesaria de antibióticos en los casos de enfermedad no grave. El tratamiento antibiótico de primera línea, en el caso de que no haya mejoría con la primera estrategia o en forma directa es la amoxicilina a dosis de 80-90 mg/kg, y la combinación de amoxicilina con ácido clavulánico es el siguiente escalón cuando hay falla terapéutica con el primero, y una cefalosporina como la ceftriaxona, cuando se ha tenido falla terapéutica con amoxicilina y otro antimicrobiano previo. El tratamiento recomendado en pacientes alérgicos a la penicilina es claritromicina. La incidencia de complicaciones de la OMA es baja, éstas pueden ser: otitis media recurrente, hipoacusia conductiva, mastoiditis, parálisis del nervio facial, meningitis y absceso cerebral. Se recomienda realizar un seguimiento 3 a 6 meses después de un episodio sin complicaciones.


Abstract Acute otitis media (AOM) is a highly prevalent disease worldwide, primarily in pediatric patients due to the inherent risk factors in their age group, anatomical and environmental conditions such as day care attendance, lack of breastfeeding and exposure to cigarette smoke, among others. The definitive diagnosis of AOM is clinical and is based on a sudden onset of the disease, signs and symptoms of otitis media and fluid in middle ear. The most accurate method to evaluate the integrity of the patient's tympanic membrane is a simple otoscopy, although its pneumatic variant is the most effective tool to determinate loss of tympanic membrane mobility. Several factors, including the patient's age, clinical stage, previous treatment and time evolution should be considered in order to choose the right treatment for AOM. The "wait-and-see prescription" in addition to systemic analgesics for 48-72 hours reduces unnecessary antibiotic prescription in non-severe cases. Amoxicillin 80-90 mg/kg is the first-line antibiotic in case of no improvement with the first strategy. A combination of amoxicillin and clavulanate is the next step when first antibiotic therapy fails. A cephalosporin like Ceftriaxone is indicated in treatment failure with amoxicillin in addition to other previous antimicrobial. The recommended treatment in patients allergic to penicillin is clarithromycin. The incidence of complications of AOM is low, these include: recurrent otitis media, conductive hearing loss, mastoiditis, facial nerve paralysis, meningitis and brain abscess. Monitoring 3-6 months after an episode without complications is recommended.

RESUMO

Most cases of acute otitis media resolve with antibiotics and imaging is not required. When treatment fails or a complication is suspected, imaging plays a crucial role. Since the introduction of antibiotic treatment, the complication rate has decreased dramatically. Nevertheless, given the critical clinical relevance of complications, the importance of early diagnosis is vital. Our objective was to review the clinical and radiological features of acute otitis media and its complications. They were classified based on their location, as intratemporal or intracranial. Imaging makes it possible to diagnose the complications of acute otitis media and to institute appropriate treatment. Computed tomography is the initial technique of choice and, in most cases, the ultimate. Magnetic resonance is useful for evaluating the inner ear and when accurate evaluation of disease extent or better characterization of intracranial complications is required.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Acute otitis media (AOM) is common in children aged <3 years. A pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) (PCV7; Prevenar, Pfizer/Wyeth, USA) has been available in Spain since 2001, which has a coverage rate of 50-60% in children aged <5 years. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Children aged ≥3 to 36 months with AOM confirmed by an ear-nose-throat specialist were enrolled at seven centers in Spain (February 2009-May 2012) (GSK study identifier: 111425). Middle-ear-fluid samples were collected by tympanocentesis or spontaneous otorrhea and cultured for bacterial identification. Culture-negative samples were further analyzed using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). RESULTS: Of 125 confirmed AOM episodes in 124 children, 117 were analyzed (median age: 17 months (range: 3-35); eight AOM episodes were excluded from analyses. Overall, 69% (81/117) episodes were combined culture- and PCR-positive for ≥1 bacterial pathogen; 44% (52/117) and 39% (46/117) were positive for Haemophilus influenzae (Hi) and Streptococcus pneumoniae (Spn), respectively. 77 of 117 episodes were cultured for ≥1 bacteria, of which 63 were culture-positive; most commonly Spn (24/77; 31%) and Hi (32/77; 42%). PCR on culture-negative episodes identified 48% Hi- and 55% Spn-positive episodes. The most common Spn serotype was 19F (4/24; 17%) followed by 19A (3/24; 13%); all Hi-positive episodes were non-typeable (NTHi). 81/117 AOM episodes (69%) occurred in children who had received ≥1 pneumococcal vaccine dose. CONCLUSIONS: NTHi and Spn were the main etiological agents for AOM in Spain. Impact of pneumococcal vaccination on AOM requires further evaluation in Spain, after higher vaccination coverage rate is reached.

RESUMO

Introducción: La mastoiditis aguda es un proceso infeccioso-inflamatorio que afecta a las celdas mastoideas. En los últimos años se ha descrito un incremento en su incidencia. La razón principal, para algunos autores, parece ser un aumento de la resistencia bacteriana (Streptococcus pneumoniae) a la penicilina y otros antibióticos. Caso Clínico: Trillizos masculinos de 2 años y 3 meses, con antecedentes de prematuridad de 28 semanas. Hijo #1 ingresa con historia de 15 días de evolución caracterizada por otalgia, otorrea asociado a ebre no cuanti cada. En sus primeros días intrahospitalarios presentó parálisis facial izquierda. Evaluado por el servicio de otorrinolaringología, se realiza CAT de mastoides en el cuál se reporta: otomastoiditis izquierda sin compromiso intracraneano. Hijo #2 e hijo #3 con cuadro similar de otitis media bilateral y otorrea por lo que se toma cultivo de la secreción y se ingresan a sala para manejo con Ceftriaxona a 80mg/kg/día. Cultivos de secreción con aislamiento de Streptococcus pneumoniae (Serotipo 19F) resistente a Penicilina y Ceftriaxona, sensible a Vancomicina y quinolonas. Se inicia terapia antibiótica con Vancomicina. Comentarios: Los trillizos recibieron 3 dosis de la vacuna antineumocócica conjugada 13 Valente (PCV13) la cobertura de esta vacuna antineumocócica incluye el serotipo 19F.


Introduction: Acute mastoiditis is an infectious-inflammatory process involving the mastoid air cells. In recent years an increase in incidence has been reported. The main reason for some authors, seems to be due to an an increase in bacterial resistance (Streptococcus pneumoniae) to penicillin and other antibiotics. Case report: Male triplets of 2 years and 3 months of age, with a history of 28 weeks of prematurity. Son# 1 is admitted with a history of 15 days of evolution characterized by otalgia and otorrhea associated to unquantifiable fever. During his first days in the hospital he presented left side facial paralysis. Evaluated by the otolaryngology service, a mastoid CAT scan is conducted which further reports a left otomastoiditis without intracranial e ects. Son#2 and son# 3 exhibit a similar mid-bilateral otitis and otorrhea by which a discharge simple is taken and both are admitted and are given 80mg / kg of Ceftriaxone per day. Discharge samples isolated from Streptococcus pneumoniae (serotype 19F) are resistant to Penicillin and Ceftriaxone and sensitive to Vancomycin and quinolones. A Vancomycin antibiotic therapy is initiated. Comments: The triplets received 3 doses of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine 13 Valente (PCV13). This coverage includes pneumococcal vaccine serotype 19F.
