Abstract
Adeno-tonsillar pathology may play an aetio-pathological role in the development of OME. However, this may be due to the presence of biofilms rather than obstructive adenoid hypertrophy, given the lack of a significant (pâ¯>â¯0.05) correlation between adenoid hypertrophy and OME. Whilst OME was not found to impair quality of life in this population group, the validity of the OM-6 in the South African paediatric population requires further investigation.
