Abstract
The results confirm past observation relating new OM episodes to a concurrent cold/flu but show these episodes to usually be of short duration. Two sources of potential bias were identified for point prevalence study formats: the presence of a pre-existing OM for a new onset cold/flu and the possibility of subclinical colds in patients with new OM episodes. These biases reinforce the need for longitudinal study formats to address this important relationship.
