Epidemiology and Antimicrobial Susceptibility of Non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae in Otitis Media in Taiwanese Children

Conclusions NTHi OM has trended upward in the post-PCV era. Concurrent sinusitis, previous ventilation tube insertion, and recurrent OM were associated with NTHi OM implicated a correlation between NTHi and complex OM. In consideration of NTHi infection, we suggest amoxicillin/clavulanate as the first-line therapy for OM among Taiwanese children.
