What Is Bullous Myringitis?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
9. Risk Factors
One group of people that is more prone to the infection is young children. This is largely because children tend to spend a lot of their time in close proximity with other children in large groups. This means that pathogens can spread rapidly from person to person.
People that are prone to getting illnesses like the cold or flu are also at a higher risk. This is because the pathogens causing those illnesses can also cause bullous myringitis. Thus, if they were to make their way to the eardrum, an infection can take place. People that have another type of ear infection are at a particularly high risk.
