Acute mastoiditis, a complication of acute otitis media, is becoming more frequent, particularly in children under two years old. Recent data shows a considerable increase in incidence.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Pediatric Infectious Diseases

Context:

  • Mastoiditis was historically a common complication of acute otitis media.
  • Antibiotic availability led to a decline in reported cases.
  • Recent trends indicate a resurgence in mastoiditis incidence.

Purpose:

  • To determine the recent frequency of acute mastoiditis.
  • To analyze the clinical and bacteriologic features of patients diagnosed with acute mastoiditis.

Summary:

  • A retrospective analysis of 100 patients diagnosed with acute mastoiditis between 1994-2001 was conducted.
  • The incidence significantly increased from 1999-2001, with 52% of cases occurring during this period.
  • Streptococcus pneumoniae was the most common pathogen identified; 17% of cultures were sterile. Three patients required mastoidectomy.

Impact:

  • The study highlights a considerable increase in acute mastoiditis incidence in the analyzed population.
  • Acute mastoiditis is more prevalent in children under two years of age.
  • Findings underscore the need for continued surveillance and management strategies for this complication.
