The role of IgE-mediated hypersensitivity in the development of middle ear disease has not been completely resolved. However, on the basis of our investigations and those of other laboratories, we would suggest that approximately two-thirds of patients with chronic recurrent otitis media (OM) are not allergic. The other third may have allergic rhinitis, and this allergic rhinitis may play a direct role in producing eustachian tube dysfunction in recurrent OM. However, viral infections of the upper respiratory tract may also induce IgE-mediated release of mast cell inflammatory mediators and could cause OM on the basis of viral infection alone. The role of allergic rhinitis on eustachian tube dysfunction is now well documented, and finally, the possible role of food allergy and OM must be seriously considered, particularly in the young OM-prone child with chronic recurrent rhinitis and OM.

OBJECTIVE: We investigated the role of allergic rhinitis in chronic otitis media (otitis media with effusion [OME] and chronic perforation of the tympanic membrane) in São Paulo, Brazil and whether there is any association between these diseases. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING: We studied 51 patients followed in the otologic group of the Otorhinolaryngology Division of the University of São Paulo Hospital. The patients were divided into 3 groups: allergic rhinitis, nonallergic rhinitis with eosinophils syndrome (NARES), and patients with types of rhinitis or without rhinitis. We analyzed the age, gender, intensity of the nasal disease, surgical procedure, and surgical results in each group. RESULTS: We found about 50% of patients presenting with nasal disease and nasal eosinophilia (33.33% of allergic and 15.69% of NARES). CONCLUSION: Nasal disease has an impact on otologic middle ear disease, considering that the normal nasal mucosa do not have eosinophils.

Objective To evaluate the role of social isolation during the lockdown due to the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) in modifying the prevalence of otitis media with effusion (OME) and the natural history of chronic OME. Study Design Retrospective study. Setting Tertiary level referral audiologic center. Methods We assessed the prevalence of OME among children aged 6 months to 12 years who attended the outpatient clinic for hearing or vestibular disorders during 2 periods before the lockdown, May-June 2019 (n = 350) and January-February 2020 (n = 366), and the period immediately after the lockdown, May-June 2020 (n = 216). We also compared the disease resolution rates between a subgroup of children with chronic OME (n = 30) who were diagnosed in summer 2019 and reevaluated in May-June 2020 and a similar subgroup (n = 29) assessed in 2018-2019. Results The prevalence of OME in this clinic population was 40.6% in May-June 2019, 52.2% in January-February 2020, and 2.3% in May-June 2020. Children with chronic OME had a higher rate of disease resolution in May-June 2020 (93.3%) than those examined in May-June 2019 (20.7%, P < .001). Conclusion Closure of schools and the physical distancing rules were correlated with a reduction in the prevalence of OME and favored the resolution of its chronic forms among children who attended the outpatient clinic. These data could suggest that in the presence of chronic OME, keeping young children out of group care settings for a period might be beneficial to allow for OME resolution.
