ACUTE OTITIS MEDIA IN ADULTS
Charles J Limb, MD, Lawrence R Lustig, MD, Marlene L Durand, MD
PDF202534 pages340 KB
Acute otitis media (AOM) is primarily an infection of childhood and is the most common pediatric infection for which antibiotics are prescribed in the United States. The vast majority of the medical literature focuses on the diagnosis, management, and complications of pediatric AOM, and much of the information regarding AOM in adults is extrapolated from studies in children. This document aims to fill that gap by discussing the specific considerations for AOM in adults, including treatment options and potential complications.
