Abstract

It is often thought that acute ear discharge as a presenting symptom of acute otitis media (AOM) means that the infection is petering out. However, children with AOM presenting with ear discharge due to a spontaneous perforation of the eardrum (AOMd) have a poorer prognosis (i.e. higher rates of ear pain and/or fever at 3-7 days) than those without ear discharge. In this article we emphasize the importance of physical examination and early treatment of children and adults who present with acute ear discharge.
