Expression of Cytokine Genes during Pneumococcal and NontypeableHaemophilus influenzaeAcute Otitis Media in the Rat
1 Jul 2000
Abstract excerpt
Acute otitis media (AOM) elicits potent inflammatory responses from the cells of the middle ear mucosa as well as from infiltrating leukocytes. To explore host responses during experimental AOM induced by Streptococcus pneumoniae type 3 and nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi), otomicroscopy findings and expression of cytokine genes in the middle ear were monitored up to 1 month postinoculation. The mucosa...
