BACTERIOLOGY AND TREA TMENT OF CHRONIC OTITIS MEDIA
Tympanocentesis was performed in 30 patients with chronic Otitis media. Pus was cultured aerobically and anaerobically. Aerobes only were isolated from 26 patients, and 9 had anaerobes. The patients were divided into two groups according to their antimicrobial only therapy: 20 received carbenicilli...
