Abstract

There is a high incidence of otitis media in infancy. The infant is anatomically predisposed to infection of the middle ear. The recumbent position prevents drainage of pus through the auditory tube. Dehydration is the greatest factor affecting the prognosis. Mastoiditis is part of the morbid anatomy. Penicillin is of value in most cases and has considerably reduced the mortality.
