From BugSigDB


A non-suppurative otitis media which is a collection of fluid that occurs in the middle ear space as a result of the negative pressure produced by altered Eustachian tube function. This can occur from viral upper respiratory infection or bacterial infection, or it can precede and/or follow acute bacterial otitis media.
