Popis:	Middle ear effusion (MEE), in its various forms, is one of the most common disorders of childhood. There are several possible etiologies, depending on the makeup of the effusion. However, the common factor in many middle ear effusions is eustachian tube dysfunction, and the role of allergy, although only one of many possible causes, is significant. A relatively large number of children with MEE are found to have atopic disorders. Nonetheless, allergy treatment alone must not preclude the use of conventional medical and surgical therapy. Optimal results will be obtained if recurrent or persistent MEE is managed in a coordinated manner by the otologist, pediatrician and allergist.
