Abstract
11 cases of chronic purulent otitis media and 9 cases of acute exacerbation of chronic otitis media were treated with FOM tablets with the following results. 1. FOM tablets achieved a high overall efficacy rate of 65.0%. Bacteriologically, causative organisms were eradicated in 66.7% of cases. 2. Diarrhea was observed in 1 case. However, it was transient in nature and did not interfere with the continuation of treatment. It disappeared after completion of treatment. 3. Urinary rate was 65.0% and, especially in cases of chronic otitis media, a high utility rate of 81. 8% could be obtained. From these findings it is concluded that FOM tablets can be expected to be very effective in the treatment of purulent otitis media.
