We prospectively studied 271 infants and children (2 months to 7 years of age) with acute otitis media (AOM) for viral and bacterial causes, outcome at the end of therapy, and frequency of recurrence within 1 month. Comprehensive virologic methods, including viral antigen detection, cell culture, and serologic studies, were used to diagnose viral infection of the respiratory tract, middle ear, or both. Evidence of viral infection was found in 46% (124/271) of patients with AOM. Sixty-six patients (24%) had virus or viral antigen in the middle ear fluid; 50 of these patients (76%) also had bacteria in middle ear fluid, and 16 (24%) had virus alone. More patients with AOM and combined bacterial and viral infection (51%) had persistent otitis (3 to 12 days after institution of antibiotic treatment), compared with those with only bacterial otitis (35%; p = 0.05) or patients with only viral infection (19%; p
