Background
- Typically under 40 yrs
- When causing pneumonia, this is also associated with bullous myringitis
- CAP
- Bullous myringitis - inflammation of the eardrum
- Painful, fluid filled vesicles
- Presence of otalgia should prompt evaluation
- Streptococcus pneumoniae is also associated w/ bullous myringitis
Antibiotic Sensitivities[1]
Key
- S susceptible/sensitive (usually)
- I intermediate (variably susceptible/resistant)
- R resistant (or not effective clinically)
- S+ synergistic with cell wall antibiotics
- U sensitive for UTI only (non systemic infection)
- X1 no data
- X2 active in vitro, but not used clinically
- X3 active in vitro, but not clinically effective for Group A strep pharyngitis or infections due to E. faecalis
- X4 active in vitro, but not clinically effective for strep pneumonia
