New Sign of Middle Ear Disease?

JOHN M. PASCOE MD, MPH1

1 Community and Ambulatory Pediatrics, Department of Pediatrics and Human Development, B240 Life Sciences Building, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48824

To the Editor.—

For years I have observed children pulling on their ears "in sickness and in health." Now, my 11-month-old daughter has introduced me to a new symptom of middle ear disease that was not described during my medical school or residency training. In addition, I have never observed it in my patients.

She developed a right purulent otitis media and was treated with antibiotics. Following ten days of antibiotic therapy, she developed a persistent middle ear effusion for about 2 months.
