The Clinical Features of Otitis Media with Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody-Associated Vasculitis and the Role of Routine Blood Tests in Its Diagnosis
OMAAV is often misdiagnosed as OME in elderly patients, but unlike OME, OMAAV is characterized by mixed hearing loss over its course. Low-cost routine blood tests may help otolaryngologists distinguish OMAAV from OME in the early stage. An abnormal middle ear condition with mixed hearing loss and a PLR ≥ 203.3 or NLR ≥ 4.7 may suggest a potential OMAAV diagnosis.
