چکیده
Material and method The study included 126 children aged between 3 years and 16 years in 2012-2014 in the Municipal Hospital of Oradea, with adenoidal enlargement who presented with the following associated diseases: 46 with bilateral serous otitis media, 10 with chronic suppurated otitis media, 24 with chronic rhinosinusitis, 32 with allergic rhinitis, 14 with the predominant symptoms chronic cough all of whom were scheduled for adenoidectomy. We preoperatively evaluated the following: nasal obstruction, mouth breathing, close rhinolalia, degree of hearing loss, level of IgE, and type of cough. We preoperatively performed fiber optic examination of the adenoidal tissue in nasopharynx in selected cases.

متن کاملAssociation of Pneumococcal Carriage and Expression of Foxp3+ Regulatory T Cells and Th17 Cells in the Adenoids of Children.
BACKGROUND Pneumococcal carriage in the nasopharynx is a primary means of transmission and a necessary prerequisite for pneumococcal disease. OBJECTIVES We analyzed the relationship between expressions of Foxp3+ regulatory T (Treg) cells and Th17 cells, and pneumococcal carriage in the adenoids of children who were either positive or negative for pneumococci.
