Tonsillitis sometimes does not respond to empirical treatment and the presentation of recurrent tonsillitis eventually leads to tonsillectomy.

متن کاملSelection of indicators for tonsillectomy in adults with recurrent tonsillitis
BACKGROUND We aimed to find some new indicators for tonsillectomy (TE) in adults with recurrent tonsillitis (RT) by exploring whether the frequency of tonsillitis episodes and the length of morbidity period are associated with the macroscopic signs of sclerotic process in tonsils and microbiological data assessed by culture, molecular (PCR) and transmission electron microscopy (EM) methods. M...
متن کاملDiagnostic Value of Histological and Microbiological Screening in Etiopathogenesis of Recurrent and Hypertrophic Tonsillitis
Interest in the mechanisms and causes of recurrent tonsillitis is considerable. CD4+CD25+ T-lymphocytes have an important role in the maintenance of immunological tolerance. The aim of our research was to compare the diagnostic value of palatine tonsils histological and microbiological screening in patients with hypertrophic and recurrent tonsillitis. 14 patients with hypertrophic and 10 patien...
