Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) and serotonin levels in patients with chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) undergoing different treatment regimens.
- Results indicated significant differences in IgE and serotonin levels among groups, with elevated IgE in untreated patients and lower serotonin across all CSOM groups compared to healthy controls.
- The conclusion suggested that while antibiotics can reduce IgE levels, they do not normalize serotonin levels, highlighting the need for monitoring and treating possible depression in CSOM patients.
