changes in the recommendations for treating acute otitis media in children
November 1998
You'll see new changes in the recommendations for treating acute otitis media in children...due to the increase in penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae (PRSP).
In many areas, 30-50% of pneumococci are now resistant to penicillin. Many of these strains are also resistant to sulfas...macrolides...and cephalosporins.
It's important to treat otitis caused by strep pneumo. These infections are less likely to resolve on their own...and are more likely to lead to complications.
