In order to determine the prevalence of chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) in rural South Indian children, a cross-sectional survey was conducted among 914 children (484 boys and 430 girls) from four primary schools and 12 nurseries (balwadis ; preschool), of adjacent villages of North Arcot District of Tamil Nadu state.
The preschool children were aged 2-5 years, while the ages of the primary school children ranged from 6 to 10 years.
The overall prevalence rate of CSOM was found to be 6%. The disease was equally prevalent in preschool children (5.7%) and primary school children (6.2%) (P=0.94).
Cholesteatomatous ear disease was observed in 1.2% of children, those of the older age group having a slightly higher prevalence rate (1.5%) than the younger age group (0.7%). Parental beliefs and existing practices with respect to the disease are also presented.
