- •
Middle ear fluid was examined by PCR detecting 24 bacterial/viral species.
- •
S. pneumoniae prevailed among bacteria and was found in 70.4% patients.
- •
Among viruses, rhinovirus (9.5%) and adenovirus (3.4%) were the most abandoned.
- •
Nasopharyngeal PCR results have high predictive value for middle ear fluid findings.
