Otitis media (OM) is an umbrella term for a number of conditions associated with middle ear inflammation. Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM), a type of OM, is characterized by long-term middle ear infection with perforated ear drum and otorrhea. The most common outcome associated with it is acquired hearing impairment in infected individuals which ultimately affects their cognitive and scholastic developments. Clinically, CSOM is thought to be a sequel of re-occurring episodes of Acute otitis media (AOM). Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus are found to be the predominant pathogenic isolates in these patients. However, with the emergence of antibiotic resistance amongst these pathogens, the adequate evaluation and treatment of this condition has become more problematic. The disease has also been recognized as one of the neglected tropical clinical manifestations with high prevalence in school-age children, especially in poor or underprivileged countries. Moreover, untreated cases have further worsened the situation by contributing to various life-threatening complications. Thus, effective treatment and surgical strategies, as well as strengthening of hearing care algorithms along with the discovery of novel animal models for advanced clinical research, can jointly help to fight this disease. In this regard, mapping of the audiological analysis with microbiological findings in CSOM patients may help elucidate the frequency that favors growth of specific pathogens. Knowledge about this potential correlation can then support timely detection of the infection, which is perceived as one of the emerging approaches for its management. In addition to these strategies, creating a true sense of awareness among people can also help mitigate this pathological condition by facilitating early identification, prevention, and treatment. This review discusses the incidence, pathogenesis, investigations, complications, and available treatment modalities associated with CSOM. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
