Ear infection rise linked to day care study finds
A study led by Dr. Bruce Lanphear reports recurring middle ear infections among preschoolers increased sharply in the 1980s due to more children in day care and higher allergy rates, rising from 18.7 to 26 percent and adding 1.8 million cases to 5.9 million by 1988, with costs estimated at 3 to 4 billion dollars annually. The work appears in Pediatrics electronic pages.
