  • Title: [The evaluation of the palatine tonsil function in patients with chronic tonsillitis].
    Author: Khmel'nitskaia NM, Vlasova VV, Kosenko VA.
    Journal: Vestn Otorinolaringol; 2000; (4):33-9. PubMed ID: 11011577.
    Abstract:
    The authors review the results of the research performed in patients with chronic tonsillitis in 1997-1999. Immunological activity of their palatine tonsils was evaluated according to the original technique which demonstrated relations between external functional activity of the palatine tonsils and age as well as symptoms of chronic tonsillitis. Additional information is presented on interrelations between lymphocytopoietic production of the palatine tonsils and hormonal status, metabolism, ecological and physical factors. The study of lifetime activity of the palatine tonsils is necessary for examination of local immunity of the mucous membranes of the lymphoid pharyngeal ring.
