Audiologic manifestations in otitis media.

The pathologic processes that affect the middle ear transmission mechanisms in otitis media are dynamically variable and may cause different degrees of severity and changing pure tone configurations. By the same token, different disease conditions may yield similar audiometric curves. The air-bone gap is the chief indicator of middle ear abnormality but rarely provides a quantifying measure or a means of differential diagnosis. The clinician and audiologist must concern themselves singularly and together in achieving a correct diagnosis especially when there is concomitant neurosensory hearing loss. They must apply all the facilities at their disposal in order to correlate the otoscopic clinical findings with the magnitude and type of hearing loss.

Laryngeal carcinoma associated with multiple additional primary tumors. Immunologic studies.

Four malignant tumors and one benign in a 76-year-old man appeared. Three of the neoplasms were in the respiratory system, and one was a bladder carcinoma; all were linked to heavy smoking habits. The patient underwent immunologic investigations consisting of in vivo testing for cutaneous reactivity, in vitro lymphocyte blastogenesis studies, T- and B-cell level studies, and serum immunoglobulin level studies. The studies have demonstrated anergy to recall antigens, decreased lymphocyte responses to phytohemagglutinin, and low levels of peripheral T-lymphocytes. The serum immunoglobulins were at the upper limit of the normal. The relationship between the patient's immunologic status and the occurrence of multiple primary neoplasms is discussed.
