   Sammanfattning : Acute purulent otitis media and otitis media with effusion, are common diseases in childhood. Years later some of the children will get "complications", such as retraction pockets and cholesteatoma, that often need advanced surgical treatment. LÄS MER

3. 12. Inflammatory mediator response to Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria in vitro and in middle ear infections

   Författare :Susann Skovbjerg; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Gram-positive; Gram-negative; bacteria; cytokines; monocytes macrophages; phagocytosis; Streptococcus pneumoniae; autolysin; acute otitis media; secretory otitis media; children; probiotics;

   Sammanfattning : Based on the structure of the cell wall, bacteria are divided into Gram-positive and Gram-negative. While the cell wall of Gram-positive bacteria is thick, the cell wall of Gram-negatives is very thin and surrounded by an outer membrane with LPS. LÄS MER

   Sammanfattning : Acute otitis media (AOM) is the most common illness diagnosed during early childhood. One of the major etiologic agents is Haemophilus influenzae. Apart from AOM, this organism can cause a broad range of infectious diseases such as meningitis, epiglottitis, arthritis, and pneumonia. Despite the importance of H. LÄS MER

   Sammanfattning : Background and aims: Most respiratory tract infections (RTI) are self-limiting. Despite this, they are associated with high antibiotic prescription rates in general practice in Sweden. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the management of respiratory tract infections (RTIs) with particular emphasis on acute otitis media (AOM). LÄS MER
