changes in the recommendations for treating acute otitis media in children

November 1998

You'll see new changes in the recommendations for treating acute otitis media in children...due to the increase in penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae (PRSP).

In many areas, 30-50% of pneumococci are now resistant to penicillin. Many of these strains are also resistant to sulfas...macrolides...and cephalosporins.
