Abstract

A descriptive study using retrospective data with the following objectives: to describe some pathogenic bacterial characteristics and treatment outcomes of acute otitis media (AOM) at Hai Phong Children's Hospital from January 2022 to June 2022. The study analyzed 108 AOM medical records that included culture tests to identify pathogenic bacteria. There were 48/108 cases of bacterial growth. Research results showed that a large proportion of cases were identified by culture as S. pneumoniae (68.7%), followed by M. catarrhalis (14.6%) and H. influenzae (8.3%). With the use of antibiotics, local treatment measures and supportive treatment; most cases were cured, with 2/108 cases requiring referral. There were 10/108 cases with complications (9.3%), of which the most common were mastoiditis (8.3%), hearing loss (3.7%), and diffuse external otitis (0.93%). AOM in children needs to be detected early and treated properly to limit complications and severe cases.
