The basic 4 types of mesotitids are:


 * 1) acute tubotympanic catarrh (catarrhus tubae auditivae acutus, hydrotympanum);
 * 2) chronic tubotympanic catarrh (catarrhus tubotympanalis chronicus, secretory mesotitis, otitis media secretorica - OMS, glue ear);
 * 3) acute purulent mesotitis (otitis media suppurativa acute, otitis media acute - OMA)
 * 4) chronic purulent mesotitis (otitis media suppurativa chronica, otitis media chronica)
