Clinico-Serological Studies on Chronic Tonsillitis by Sprase-Massage Tonsillar Provocation Test

N-acetyl-β-hexosaminidase in chronic tonsillitis and tonsillar hypertrophy.

BACKGROUND The concentration and specific activity of N-acetyl-β-hexosaminidase (HEX) in palatine tonsils with chronic tonsillitis and tonsillar hypertrophy give insight in tonsillar tissue remodeling and constitute a potential marker for diagnosis and treatment of chronic tonsillitis and tonsillar hypertrophy. AIM Determining the concentration and specific activity of N-acetyl-β-hexosaminida...

Tonsillar Helicobacter pylori colonization in chronic tonsillitis: systematic review and meta-analysis.

IMPORTANCE Helicobacter pylori colonization contributes significantly to multiple disease states, but its role in the development of tonsillar infection is unclear. Understanding the causes of chronic tonsillitis is important in clinical decision making of this commonly treated disease. OBJECTIVE To assess the correlation between H pylori colonization of tonsillar tissue in chronic tonsilliti...

Isolation of viable Helicobacter pylori in the tonsillar tissues of chronic tonsillitis patients.

Tonsillar hyperplasia and recurrent tonsillitis: clinical-histological correlation.

UNLABELLED Hypertrophy and recurrent tonsillitis are common indications of tonsillectomy. However, the pathological reports are similar, regardless of clinical aspects. OBJECTIVE Search for histopathological changes that differentiate palatine tonsils operated because of hypertrophy vis-à-vis those operated because of recurrent tonsillitis. METHOD A prospective cross-sectional descriptive s...
