[The alteration of the parameters of lipid peroxidation and the antioxidative system in the children presenting with pyo-inflammatory diseases of the middle ear].

The objective of the present study was to determine the amount of products of lipid peroxidation (dienic conjugates and malonic dialdehydes) together with antioxidative enzymes (catalase and superoxide dismutase) in 47 children presenting with acute pyo-inflammatory otitis media (APIOM) and 125 patients with chronic suppurative mesotympanitis (CSMT). In addition, 49 children presenting with chronic suppurative epitympanitis (CSET) and chronic suppurative epimesotympanitis (CSEMT) were included in the study. The data obtained were analysed and compared with the similar characteristics of 28 healthy children of the same age comprising the control group.
