Zusammenfassung
Bei 702 Patienten mit chronischer Otitis media wurden die bakteriologischen Befunde zum klinischen Zustand des Ohres in Beziehung gesetzt. Eine statistisch signifikante Korrelation zur Heftigkeit der Infektion ergab sich bei Pseudomonas aeruginosa, St. aureus und E. coli. Die Funktion der Ohrtrompete war von den bakteriologischen Befunden unabhängig. Pseudomonas aeruginosa war häufiger bei Ohren ohne als bei solchen Cholesteatom nachzuweisen.
Summary
Bacteriologic findings in 702 cases of chronic otitis media were correlated with the clinical conditions of the ears. Statistically significant correlations with the severity of the clinical infection were noticed concerning Pseudomonas aeruginosa, St. aureus and E. coli. The bacteriological findings did not correlate with the results of Valsalva test. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was statistically more often present in ears without than in ears with cholesteatoma.
