    Journal: Pediatr Infect Dis J; 2006 Feb; 25(2):181-2. PubMed ID: 16462302.
    Abstract:
    A 10-kg 9-month-old infant with recurrent, unresponsive otitis media presented with bilateral acute otitis media caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae type 19A, resistant to all oral agents and intermediately susceptible to ceftriaxone. Treatment with myringotomies and intramuscular ceftriaxone, 50 mg/kg/d for 5 days, was unsuccessful. The patient responded to pressure equalization tubes and local ciprofloxacin with dexamethasone drops.
