AB  - The article by Schwartz et al1 describes an investigation of the effect of compliance with antibiotic therapy on the occurrence of middle ear effusion after acute otitis media. The authors imply that the return of three (or two) positive urine specimens indicates pharmacologic compliance. However, as stated by the authors "no attempt was made to confirm that the urine specimens were actually collected on the specified days." It is possible that all urine was collected on a single day.
