The purple-coloured streaks evident on ear cytology during treatment of bacterial otitis represent neutrophilic debris indicating ongoing inflammation. Occasional cocci can be seen. Antimicrobial therapy should be continued until there is complete cytological resolution of both the infection and inflammation.
