Bacteriology of Otorrhea From Tympanostomy Tubes

Abstract
• Culture results from 100 consecutive cases of otorrhea from tympanostomy tubes are presented. In children younger than 3 years, the culture results are very similar to those seen in patients with acute otitis media who do not have tubes. In children older than 3 years, the flora resembles that of external otitis. Suggestions for treatment are made. (Arch Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg. 1989;115:1225-1226)
