急性中耳炎大多发生在上呼吸道感染后，致病菌是鼻咽部的细菌。我们研究了709例上呼吸道感染，发现鼻咽部无细菌的儿童患急性中耳炎的风险较低，而有3种致病菌的儿童患急性中耳炎的风险最高。
Acute otitis media occurs mostly after upper respiratory tract infection; the causative bacteria are those colonized in the nasopharynx. We studied 709 episodes of upper respiratory tract infection and found that children with no bacteria in the nasopharynx were at low risk for acute otitis media, whereas children with 3 pathogenic bacteria were at the greatest risk.
