Case-control study of relationship of infection by respiratory viruses with acute otitis media in Chinese children

Background: Acute otitis media (AOM) may occur as a complication of viral upper respiratory infection (URI) in children. Our objective was to examine children with URI + AOM or URI alone to determine the association of infection by different common respiratory viruses with AOM. Methods: Nasopharynge...

description Background: Acute otitis media (AOM) may occur as a complication of viral upper respiratory infection (URI) in children. Our objective was to examine children with URI + AOM or URI alone to determine the association of infection by different common respiratory viruses with AOM. Methods: Nasopharyngeal swabs were collected from March 2014 to February 2015. Quantitative PCR was then used to identify the following 10 common respiratory viruses: respiratory syncytial virus (RSV); parainfluenza viruses 1–4 (PIVs); influenza virus type A (IFVA); influenza virus type B; human rhinovirus (HRV); enterovirus; human metapneumovirus; human coronavirus OC43, 229E, NL63, and HKU1; adenovirus; and human bocavirus. Results: We examined 255 children with URIs (mean age: 32.9 ± 18.7 months), and 164 (64.1%) of them tested positive for at least one respiratory virus. The most common viruses were RSV (44, 24.3%), PIVs (28, 15.5%), and IFVA (25, 13.8%). Positivity for RSV was significantly greater in the URI + AOM group than in the URI group, but these groups did not differ in infection rates for the other 9 viruses. There were also significant seasonal differences in positivity for RSV, IFVA, HRV,HBoV, PIVs and EV. Conclusion: Our results indicated a relationship between infection by common respiratory viruses and AOM in children from Beijing. A URI with RSV significantly increased the risk of AOM in these children.
