Acute otitis media (AOM) is thought to occur frequently in children infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). We compared experience with AOM of 28 HIV-infected children with that of 33 children who seroreverted to HIV antibody negative status by age 18 months. The mean number of episodes/year of AOM for children who seroreverted decreased from 1.33 in the first year of life to 0.13 in the third year, whereas the mean number of episodes/year in HIV-infected children increased from 1.89 to 2.40. By age 3 years, all HIV-infected children had experienced 1 or more episodes of AOM, and 80% had experienced 6 or more, whereas 75% of children who seroreverted had experienced 1 or more episodes, and none had had 6 or more. HIV-infected children with normal T4 lymphocyte counts had a mean of 1.18 episodes of AOM in the first year of life compared with 2.35 episodes in HIV-infected children with decreased counts (P = 0.023). HIV-infected children with low counts had a nearly 3-fold increased risk of recurrent AOM (47% vs. 18%).
