Otitis media (middle ear infection) is usually associated with upper respiratory infections -- pharyngitis, laryngitis (sore throat).

When one has a disease that the immune system is currently fighting against (strep throat), the other immune defenses are slightly decreased in order to ramp up the specific immune cells attacking the current infection. Therefore, combating strep throat could leave the body open to other opportunistic infections such as pneumonia, especially in the elderly.
