Update of the consensus document on the aetiology, diagnosis and treatment of acute otitis media and sinusitis

David Lopez Martin et al.

Summary: The introduction of pneumococcal vaccines has led to changes in the diagnosis and treatment of acute otitis media (AOM) and sinusitis, including increased colonization by nonvaccine serotypes and antimicrobial resistances. Diagnosis of AOM is still based on clinical evaluation, with proposed stricter criteria. Sinusitis diagnosis remains clinical, with imaging reserved for complications. Pain relief is key in AOM management, and watchful waiting or delayed antibiotic prescription are suitable strategies for some patients.

Compliance to antibiotic therapy at paediatric out-patient clinic

Dipen Patel et al.

Summary: This study aimed to assess compliance to oral antibiotic therapy in paediatric patients and identify factors affecting it. The study found that the use of multiple drugs in addition to antibiotics, more frequent intake of antibiotics, and factors such as adverse effects, poor palatability, and lack of improvement significantly affected compliance. Restricting unnecessary drug use, preferring once-a-day frequency, and carefully selecting antibiotics with minimal adverse effects and better palatability can improve compliance to oral antibiotic therapy in paediatric patients.
