Infection Control Program and World Health Organization Collaborating Centre, Faculty of Medicine, Geneva University Hospitals, Geneva, Switzerland.
Purpose: Blood culture contamination (BCC) is mainly caused by commensal bacteria, during sample collection. It results in unnecessary antibiotic exposure, prolonged hospitalisation, additional microbiology workup and significant adverse health-economic burden. We aimed to investigate the short- and long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the incidence of BCC.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on acute otitis media (AOM) and acute mastoiditis (AM) by analyzing longitudinal changes in disease incidence, clinical presentations, complications, and microbial patterns across pre-pandemic, pandemic, and post-pandemic periods.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study examining pediatric AOM and AM cases (age ≤ 15 years) at a tertiary medical center between March 2015 and February 2024. Cases were categorized into three periods: pre-COVID (March 2015-February 2020), lockdown (March 2020-February 2021), and post-lockdown (March 2021-February 2024).
