Abstract

Despite recent declines in the incidence of acute otitis media (AOM), more than 5 million cases and 5-6 million primary AOM visits still occur in young children in the United States, resulting in $4.4 billion direct medical costs annually. Our aims in this review are to describe the role of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in the etiology of AOM, discuss the prospect of prevention of RSV-associated AOM through immunization, and suggest future research strategies to assess the impact of immunization on RSV-associated AOM.
