70 children aged <6 months, suffering from acute tympanitis, consecutively referred to our practice, were treated in accordance with the Dutch guidelines by limiting the prescription of antibiotics to the most serious cases, or to those characterised by persistent intolerable symptoms, since the very beginning or 24 hours after or 3-5 days after. 68/70 were followed up for several months (2 of them eluded the follow-up). Families were very favourable to a program limiting the use of antibiotics. 24 children were administered antibiotics (6 on the first day, 3 on the second day and 15 after the third day). Between the two groups, there was no difference in terms of results or relapses.

Description of a case of diffused itching brash. A patch test, which was carried out because of its affinity with contact dermatitis, showed a sensitivity to mercury organic and inorganic compounds. The child had inadvertently broken a thermometer. Such a sensitisation could be due to antiseptic organic preparations (dressings) and preservatives (milk-based ones).
