Abstract
Human ears with poorly developed or undeveloped air cell systems are particularly susceptible to infection. Attempts have been made to define some physical factors related to the ear-Eustachian tube system. The incidence of inflammatory middle ear disease seems to be favoured by these factors under certain conditions, as in the hypocellular ear state.
