Otitis Media time course with NTHi. A. Baseline (0 h) B. 6 h C. 24 h D. 48 h E. 72 h F. 168 h. The MEs of WBxB6 F1 hybrid mice undergo mucosal hyperplasia with infiltration of inflammatory cells, with a peak of inflammatory changes at 48 hours. The ear resembles its baseline appearance by 168 h (7d). G. Neutrophils are evident in the ME cavity by 6 h after inoculation H. Macrophages, much less numerous overall than neutrophils, are most prominent at 48 h. I. Quantification of neutrophil and macrophage numbers in the ME cavity after NTHi inoculation.
