Test results ofIzuhara-Machi were compared with those of Nagasaki-Shi. Incidence of type C1, type C2 and type Bdecreased in Izuhara-Machi and increased in Nagasaki-Shi from June to December in each year.<BR>Incidence of otitis media with effusion in Nagasaki-Shi was significantly higher than in Izuhara-Machi.Several children with otitis media with effusion showed spontaneous improvement of abnormal tympanograms (type C2 or type B totype A) both in Izuhara-Machi and Nagasaki-Shi. From the results of tests, it was decided that re-examination should be done for children with type C2 and type B, but not with type C1.
