Supine feeding position is associated with serous otitis media. The hypothesis is that supine feeding is associated with recurrent otitis media, tonsillar and adenoid hypertrophy and recurrent pneumonia secondary to recurrent aspiration.
The National Health Plan 2001-2010 calls for investigation of the feasibility of pneumococcal vaccines for Papau New Guinea. The Papua New Guinea (PNG) Institute of Medical Research, the Telethon Institute for Child Health Research and the Department of Paediatrics, University of Western Australia will collaborate to examine very closely the safety of neonatal vaccination, particularly with regard to impact on the development of immunity and response to other vaccines given to infants. This study will also provide a unique opportunity for training of PNG and Australian scientists in both countries.
The aim of this study is to assess in France the impact of Prevenar on the possible evolution of the pneumococcal serotypes distribution and antibiotic resistance in NP samples of children with AOM.
The objective of this pilot study is to evaluate the efficacy of treatment with montelukast as compared to placebo in the prevention of recurrence of acute Otitis media (AOM)
Chronic suppurative otitis media is one of the most common chronic infections in children worldwide. Symptoms include otorrhea, otalgia and hearing loss. In many countries, it is treated primarily with antibiotics; in other countries such as the Netherlands a surgical approach, such as a tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, placement or removal of tympanostomy tubes or a tympanomastoidectomy is preferred. There is however, no agreement on the management of this disease. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of treatment with sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim for 6-12 weeks in children suffering from chronic otitis media and otorrhea.
The clinical activity of telithromycin vs. cefuroxime in children with acute infections of the middle ear, ages 6 months to 59 months old will be studied.
The purpose of this study is to find out if young children have more benefit of the combination of adenotomy and tympanostomy than plain tympanostomy in prevention of recurrent otitis media.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy in young children in preventing acute otitis media due to vaccine serotype pneumococcal or non typable Hemophilus influenza, following immunization with an 11-valent pneumococcal vaccine according to a 3 dose primary vaccination in the first year of life, with booster dose in the second year of life. Prophylactic immunization with pneumococcal conjugate vaccine is compared to placebo (hepatitis A vaccine).
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate non-inferiority of levofloxacin compared with amoxicillin/clavulanate on the clinical response at the end of therapy in infants and children who have recurrent and/or persistent acute otitis media.
