Abstract
Background Bacterial infection, Eustachian tube dysfunction, allergies, and immunologic factors are major causes of otitis media with effusion (OME). However, the exact pathogenesis of OME is still unclear. This study evaluated whether allergy influences bacterial growth in middle ear effusions.
Highlights
Erratum to: Detection of bacteria in middle ear effusions based on the presence of allergy: does allergy augment bacterial infection in the middle ear?
The original paragraph read: “This study demonstrates that the children with evidence of allergy were likely as children without evidence of allergy to demonstrate evidence of bacterial infection in PCR tested MEE specimens
This study did not demonstrate a positive relationship between allergy and the bacterial infection in the pathogenesis of OME
