title: [Diagnostics of acute otitis media in newborn and breastfed babies].
abstract: A method for the examination of the middle ear in newborn and breastfeeding infants with the use of a digital video otoscope is discussed. This non-invasive otoscopic technique is currently believed to be the most informative, convenient, and time-saving tool for the examination of the entire tympanic membrane in children of the above age groups. Its application allows for timely diagnostics and treatment of acute otitis media.
