Tissue diagnosis help eliminate the concerns surrounding the malignancy of the lesion. Conclusion Emergency physicians and surgeons method should consider spontaneously adrenal cyst hemorrhage and rupture in the differential diagnosis of any patient with
abdominal symptoms or unexplained hemorrhagic shock. Earlier diagnosis and surgical resection of these lesions is curative.

Background: Otitis media with effusion is one of the leading
causes of hearing loss in children. Effective treatment of effusion in the middle ear requires appropriate empirical treatment and characterization of responsible pathogens. Objective of the present study was to detect pathogens in clinical samples from patients with otitis media with effusion in our area and Inhibitors,research,lifescience,medical to determine the sensitivity profile of isolated organisms to commonly used antibiotics. Methods: Sixty three samples of middle ear effusion were aseptically obtained from 36 children, Inhibitors,research,lifescience,medical who had been treated up to at least two weeks before sampling. They were analyzed using standard bacteriological and multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays. Antibiotic susceptibility tests were also performed. Results: PCR analysis Inhibitors,research,lifescience,medical showed that DNA of Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis were present in 60 (95.2%) of the samples. The culture-positive effusion for Streptococcus
Pneumoniae, HaemophilusInfluenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis was 34.9%. Almost all sellekchem isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniaee were sensitive to ciprofloxacin and Inhibitors,research,lifescience,medical erythromycin, and none of them was sensitive to co-trimoxazole. None of H. Influenzae isolates was sensitive to erythromycin, cefixim, co-trimoxazole, ampicillin and amoxicillin. None of M. Catarrhalis isolates was sensitive to ceftriaxone, co-trimoxazole, ampicillin and amoxicillin. Conclusion: Compared with other studies using PCR method, the number of H. influenza isolates was in higher in the present study (95.2%). Antibiotic sensitivity profiles of pathogens isolated in this study were different from others. Thus, we can determine empirical Cilengitide antibiotic therapy based on sensitivity profile in our geographic area. Key Words: Otitis media with effusion, polymerase chain reaction, antibacterial resistance, Iran, antibiogram Introduction Otitis media (OM) is a generic term for any inflammatory process in the middle ear cleft behind an intact tympanic membrane (TM). Otitis media with effusion (OME) indicates collection of fluid into middle ear without any sign of acute inflammation.
