Acute Otitis Media

Acute Otitis Media. Otitis Media with Effusion. It is estimated that in the US 24,000,000 AOM episodes occur yearly 6% failures ~1,500,000 failures. AOM : Spectrum of Pathogens. S. pneumoniae 25  40% H. influenzae 20  35% M. catarrhalis 5  20% S. pyogenes 2  5%.

  1. Acute Otitis Media

  2. Otitis Media with Effusion

  3. It is estimated that in the US 24,000,000 AOM episodes occur yearly 6% failures ~1,500,000 failures

  4. AOM : Spectrum of Pathogens S. pneumoniae 25  40% H. influenzae 20  35% M. catarrhalis 5  20% S. pyogenes 2  5%

  5. Risk factors for failure regardless of antibiotic • Age <2 years • Daycare • Recurrent AOM • Recurrent antibiotics in past 3 months • Mixed viral and bacterial infection • Mixed S. pneumoniae and H. influenzae infection Leibovitz & Dagan. Infect Med 2001; 18:212–216.

  6. The goals ofantibacterial therapy Maximize clinical outcome by maximizing therapeutic effect Maximum reduction in bacterial load at site of infection, with aim of bacterial eradication Minimize potential for emergence and selection of resistance Maximize cost–benefit of treatment Reduce the number of individuals carrying resistant bacteria Minimize spread of resistance

  7. Persistence of Pathogens in MEF Day 2-7 - Placebo S. pneumoniae H. influenzae Howie & Ploussard, Clin Pediatr 1972; 11:205-14

  8. The “Pollyanna Phenomenon” Marchant et al, J Pediat 120:72-7, 1992 Bacteriologic efficacy in bacterial AOM Clinical efficacy in clinical AOM Clinical efficacy in bacterial AOM Placebo

  9. Some drugs work better than others in bacteriologic eradication in AOM Eradication is associated with improved clinical outcome

  16. Does all this matter?

  17. Clinical Success: Augmentin vs. Azithromycin Augmentin Azithromycin P=0.01 P=0.023 % with clinical success 80 58 87 39 83 49 Dagan et al Pediatr Inf Dis J Feb 00

  18. How to choose antibiotics for AOM?

  19. AOM 1st AOM Recurrent or non-responsive AOM (no AOM in last 3 m) • Amox (40 - 100) • A/C (40 - 90) • Cefurox axetil • Ceftriaxone (1/3 doses) • (if unable to take PO) • Amox (80 - 100) • A/C (90) • Cefurox axetil • Ceftriaxone (3 doses)

  20. Hold fire !! Easier on the trigger • age >= 2 yrs • purulent rhinitis + SOM • no fever, mild symptoms • 1st AOM • age < 1 yr • bulging yellow (pus) ear drum • DCC attendee • recurrent/non-responsive AOM • high fever, toxic-appearing • genetic risk factors • anatomic risk factors
