Improving medical services for rural and remote Aboriginal children chronic suppurative otitis media

该项目旨在描述在两年半的时间里，受影响的儿童慢性化脓性中耳炎的进展或缓解情况。该项目将结合当前最好的医疗实践、对当地耳朵健康工作者的培训和一系列随机对照试验进行。这些试验将评估环丙沙星外用抗生素治疗的有效性，以及外用抗生素在疾病开始时和对以前的治疗方案无效的儿童中的作用。

The project aims to describe the progression or resolution of chronic suppurative otitis media in affected children over a two and a half year period. This project will be conducted in combination with current best medical practice, training for local ear health workers and a series of randomised controlled trials. The trials will evaluate the effectiveness of topical ciprofloxacin antibiotic therapy, and the role of topical antibiotics at the onset of disease and in children who have failed to respond to previous treatment regimes.
