Cytological and immunochemical characterization of middle ear effusions: an experimental approach.
The aim of the present study was to experimentally provoke well-defined serous and purulent effusion materials and to analyze the fluid using cytological and immunochemical techniques. Using these parameters an attempt was made to find a marker(s) for the degree of inflammation, duration of the disease and possible sequelae.
