Erratum to: Detection of bacteria in middle ear effusions based on the presence of allergy: does allergy augment bacterial infection in the middle ear? Woo Jin Kim1, Byung-Guk Kim1, Ki-Hong Chang1 and Jeong-Hoon Oh1,2* Erratum Unfortunately, the original version of this article [1] contained a paragraph in which the meaning was unclear. The original paragraph read: “This study demonstrates that the children with evidence of allergy were equally likely as children without evidence of allergy to demonstrate evidence of bacterial infection in PCR tested MEE specimens. Although this study did not demonstrate a positive relationship between allergy and the bacterial infection in the pathogenesis of OME. However, numerous studies have indicated that allergic subjects are more susceptible to OME than non-allergic controls.” However this sentence should read: “This study demonstrates that the MEE specimens from children with evidence of allergy were equally likely as those from children without evidence of allergy to demonstrate evidence of bacterial infection by PCR. Although this study did not demonstrate a positive relationship between allergy and the bacterial infection in the pathogenesis of OME, numerous studies have indicated that allergic subjects are more susceptible to OME than non-allergic controls.” Received: 11 February 2016 Accepted: 11 February 2016 Published: 19 February 2016 Reference 1.
