[Immunologic correctors in combined treatment of paratonsillitis]

As shown by immunological examination of 47 healthy subjects living in polluted territories and 120 patients with paratonsillitis (PT), PT arises in T-cell and humoral immunodeficiency of the palatine tonsils. Conventional treatment fails to eliminate initial immunodeficiency, contributes to development of chronic inflammation and complications. Adjuvant treatment with local polyvalent pyobacteriophage and parenteral placental albumin improves local and systemic immunity, promotes a favourable outcome of acute inflammation in the tonsils.
