Abstract
Otitis media with effusion (OME) is a condition characterised by a collection of fluid within the middle ear without signs of acute inflammation. It is common in young children, with a bimodal peak at two and five years of age. Eighty percent of children have at least one episode of OME by the age of 10 years.1 In Malaysia, the overall prevalence is 2.9% with an estimated cases of 761,962.2, level III These figures however may not reflect the actual disease burden as confirmatory testing could not be done in some children during the field survey. A study among preschoolers found that the prevalence rate of OME was 18.3%.
