=== Acute: ===
=== Acute ===
* [[Mastoid air cells]] infection less than one month mostly due to [[acute otitis media]] in children.
* [[Mastoid air cells]] infection less than one month.


=== Sub acute: ===
* Indolent infection more than one month due to inadequate antibiotic therapy and persistent bacteria in the middle ear. Some groups who are more vulnerable to this type are: newborn, elderly, diabetic, immunosuppressed and debilitated patients.
* Indolent infection more than one month due to inadequate antibiotic therapy and persistent bacteria in the middle ear. Some groups who are more vulnerable to this type are: newborn, elderly, diabetic, immunosuppressed and debilitated patients.


=== Chronic: ===
=== Chronic ===
* [[Mastoid air cells]] infection for months to years, mostly due to chronically infected ear in the condition such as [[chronic otitis media]].
* [[Mastoid air cells]] infection for months to years, mostly due to chronically infected ear in the condition such as [[chronic otitis media]].

Overview

Mastoiditis may be classified into acute and sub acute and chronic forms, depending on the timing of presentation and duration.

Classification

Mastoiditis may be classified into acute, sub acute and chronic forms based on disease duration:[1][2]

Acute

  • Indolent infection more than one month due to inadequate antibiotic therapy and persistent bacteria in the middle ear. Some groups who are more vulnerable to this type are: newborn, elderly, diabetic, immunosuppressed and debilitated patients.

Chronic
