Abstract
Acute otitis media and recurrent otitis are the most common diseases i n chidhood seen in ambulatory practice. The diagnosis and the treatmen t of these infections are at present more complex. In June 1995, pedia tricians and otolaryngologists were questionned on their approach to t he diagnosis and management of otitis media. We report the data of thi s inquiry and we analyze the differencies between these two physician groups. It is obvious that the treatment of otitis must be managed for each patient according to its risk factors.
