- Abstract
This article discusses a study conducted at a hospital in Finland that examined the presence of respiratory viruses in children with acute otitis media (AOM), a common ear infection. The study found that AOM was most common in children with human metapneumovirus (hMPV) and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections. However, the highest number of AOM cases overall was found in children with rhinovirus infection. The study suggests that preventing these respiratory viral infections could help reduce the occurrence of AOM in children. The study was supported by various funding sources and the authors have no conflicts of interest.
