Middle ear infections are the most common reason for a child to see a doctor, receive antibiotics and undergo surgery. We have collected blood and saliva samples from children with and without ear infections to compare their antibody responses to bacteria that cause middle ear infections. We will also investigate whether there is a good host response at the site of inflammation, i.e. the middle ear.

中耳感染是孩子去看医生、接受抗生素治疗和接受手术的最常见原因。我们收集了患有和未患有耳部感染的儿童的血液和唾液样本，比较他们对引起中耳感染的细菌的抗体反应。我们还将研究炎症部位（即中耳）是否有良好的宿主反应。
