Background: Tuberculosis (TB) continues to be a common disease in developing countries, among which middle ear TB is rare. Furthermore, it is relatively difficult to make an early diagnosis and provide follow-up treatment for middle ear TB. So, it is necessary to report this case for reference and further discussion.
Case Presentation: We reported 1 case of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis otitis media. TB otitis media is rare in tuberculosis; multidrug-resistant TB otitis media is even more rare. Our paper analyzes the possible causes, imaging, molecular biology, pathology, and clinical manifestations of multidrug-resistant TB otitis media.
Conclusion: PCR and DNA molecular biology techniques are highly recommended for the early diagnosis of multidrug-resistant TB otitis media. Early, effective anti-tuberculosis treatment is the guarantee for further recovery for patients with multidrug-resistant TB otitis media.

Molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is a developmental defect that affects the enamel tissue of permanent teeth. Clinicians may observe a range of opacities in the affected teeth, varying from white to creamy, yellow, and brown. Of particular interest is an etiology of MIH that has not been rigorously elucidated.

Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (aRMS) is a rare pediatric malignant tumor with a poor prognosis, particularly when located in the rhinopharynx and sphenoidal floor, which complicates diagnosis and increases the risk of misclassification as benign growths. The specific genotype of aRMS is associated with a worse clinical outcome. In young children, especially those aged 4 to 12 years, rhinopharyngeal masses are often attributed to chronic adenoiditis; however, other benign (e.

Many studies have evaluated the roles of free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in various diseases. To date, however, no systematic review has specifically investigated the involvement of free radicals and ROS in acute otitis media (OM), OM with effusion, and chronic OM. The present study therefore assessed the roles of free radicals and ROS in OM.

Introduction: Allergic rhinitis is the specific inflammation against allergen by immune defense cells on the nasal mucosa, which can lead to chronic nasal symptoms such as sneezing, itching, runny nose, and nasal congestion. It is associated with high morbidity including sinusitis, asthma, otitis media, hypertrophied inferior turbinate, and nasal polyps. Despite its complications, it remains poorly recognized and tracked.
