Evaluation of Microplastics Presence in Otitis Media With Effusion Material
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Procedure
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY
Microplastic rate is increasing ib athmosphere. They can be found in lung, kidney, heart, even placenta. Otitis media with effusion (OME) is a clinical condition that is ver common in children. Biofilms are blamed in the pathogenesis of OME. Microplastics can include biofilms. Importance of microplastics for potential pathogens and their toxicity aspects should be enlighted with studies. This study aims to investigate presency of microplastics in middle ear fluid of patients with OME.
