AB  - Otitis  media  (OM)  is  a  global  health  care  concern  most  commonly  seen  in  the  pediatric  population.  Aside  from  upper  respiratory  infections,  OM  is  the  most  commonly  rendered  diagnosis  in  the  pediatric  primary  care  setting.  Most  children  will  be  diagnosed  with  at  least  1  episode  of  acute  otitis  media  (AOM)  with  rates  of  incidence  peaking  at  age  2  years.  Various  retrospective  studies  demonstrate  a  wide  berth  of  incidence,  suggesting  that  19%  to  62%  of  children  will  experience  at  least  1  episode  of  AOM  by  age  1  year,  and  50%  to  84%  of  children  by  age  2  years.  Children  with  trisomy  21  or  cleft  palate  are  particularly  at  risk  with  incidence  from  60%  to  85%.
