title: [Retrospective studies of penicillin-resistant pneumococcal acute otitis media in infants and children--the treatment of tympanostomy tube insertion].
abstract: Retrospective studies of treatment of tympanostomy tube insertion in infantile otitis prone patients caused by Penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae were performed. Insertion of the Koken B type tympanostomy tube was performed with local anesthesia. The results were as follows: 1. In 25 otitis prone children, 19 (76.0%) were not recognized as having otitis media and otorrhea, but 6 (24.0%) were recognized. 2. Of the 25 children, 20 had the tympanostomy tube removed. Eighteen were not recognized as having otitis media and otorrhea during tympanostomy tube insertion, but 2 were recognized. 3. In 18 children, 2 developed otitis media after tympanostomy tube removal, but the other 16 children did not. 4. In 2 children who were recognized as having otitis media and otorrhea during tympanostomy tube insertion, 1 child actually had otitis media, whereas the other did not. 5. From this study, tympanostomy tube insertion is a useful method for treating the otitis prone children caused by Penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae.
