Abstract

En 中文

Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM), characterized by persistent middle ear suppuration through tympanic membrane perforation for ≥2 weeks, remains a major public health challenge in India with prevalence ranging from 1.4% to 14.7%, classifying India as a WHO high-prevalence zone. The earliest CSOM study from Uttar Pradesh in 1961 reported 14.7% prevalence among schoolchildren. This 65-year review analyses how CSOM pathogens and their resistance patterns have evolved across India's regions.
