High rate of nasopharyngeal carriage of potential pathogens among children in Greenland: results of a clinical survey of middle-ear disease
Udgivelsesdato: 1996-Nov Nasopharyngeal and middle-ear colonization with bacteria and viruses, including Mycoplasma pneumoniae and chlamydiae, was investigated in a survey of 54 children with acute otitis media (AOM) and 201 control children without AOM in Greenland. In total, 98% with AOM and 91% w...
