Three hundred six children were enrolled at birth in a prospective study of otitis media and followed up for 2 years. Adherence of nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae to buccal epithelial cells was compared between otitis-prone children and age- and sex-matched normal controls at birth, 1 year, and 2 years. The mean +/- SD/median percent adherence was similar for the two groups at birth (1.6 +/- 2.3/1.0 versus 1.2 +/- 1.4/1.0; NS) and at 2 years (1.6 +/- 1.7/1.5 versus 2.1 +/- 2.1/1.5; NS). At 1 year of age the adherence rate for the otitis-prone group (2.4 +/- 2.6/1.0) was statistically greater than that for the control group (1.0 +/- 1.3/0.0; p < .02). Because this difference is probably clinically insignificant, other explanations must be sought for the increased colonization rates of nontypeable H influenzae observed in otitis-prone children.
