Features Of The Course Of Chronic Tonsillitis In Rhinosinusitis

Abstract

Rhinosinusitis is a bacterial or viral infection of the mucous membrane of the cavity and paranasal
sinuses; it occurs in children and adults with the same frequency in all age groups. Rhinosinusitis, as
one of the forms of upper respiratory tract infection, is perhaps the most common pathology faced
by local therapists and pediatricians. According to American researchers, 4.6% of all visits to a general
practitioner occur in cases of rhinosinusitis. The presence of 2 to 4 episodes of acute rhinosinusitis
throughout the year indicates a recurrent course of the disease. According to some foreign authors,
latent forms of sinusitis in adults account for 57 to 86% of cases. According to some researchers,
Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae account for 70% of acute sinusitis in
children. For many decades, the question of the choice of tactics for the treatment of hypertrophy of
the pharyngeal tonsil (adenoids) and hypertrophy of the palatine tonsils (chronic tonsillitis) remains
open. Chronic diseases of the lymphopharyngeal ring are the dominant pathology in which children
are observed by an otolaryngologist and pediatrician
