  • Vnetje zunanjega in srednjega ušesa = Inflammation of the external and middle ear
    Pokorn, Marko ; Gros, Anton, 1945-
    The inflammations of the external and middle ear are the most common causes ofoffice visits for ear disease. Otitis externa is caused by various conditions that disrupt the integrity of the skin of ... the ear canal. The infection is most commonly caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcusaureus. Topical treatment is used. In mild cases, astringents are required, in more severe cases antibiotics alone or combined with steroidsare recommended. Otitis media is the inflammation of the mucoperiosteal lining of the middle ear. Otitis media with effusion denotes the presence of middle ear fluid without signs of inflammation, clinically manifested by hearing loss. Tympanostomy tube insertion is used for treatment.Acute otitis media is characterized by sudden onset of signs and symptoms of acute inflammation of the middle ear. It is most commonly caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae. The clinical signs of the disease include specific signs of middle ear inflammation (earache, hearing loss and discharge), nonspecific signs of infection and signs of upperrespiratory tract involvement. Antibiotics are used for the treatment andamoxicillin is the preferred drug. In the case of recurrent episodes of acute otitis media, chemoprophylaxis is recommended in selected children. The incidence of acute otitis media is decreased in children immunized with pneumococcal conjugate vaccine and those given the new intranasal influenza vaccine.
