[Determination of serumal soluble interleukin-2 receptor levels in patients with tonsillitis]
1Department of Otorhinolaryngology, People's Hospital of Puyang City, Henan Province, Puyang 457000.
Objective:
To observe serumal soluble interleukin-2 receptor levels in patients with tonsillitis.
Method:
SIL-2R levels in serum were detected in 68 patients with acute or chronic tonsillitis and 68 normal controls.
Result:
The SIL-2R concentrations in patients with acute tonsillitis and in patients with chronic tonsillitis within attacking period were (642.2 +/- 87.2) x 10(3) U/L and (762.3 +/- 90.5) x 10(3) U/L, respectively. Both were significantly higher than those of the controls (285.5 +/- 49.6) x 10(3) U/L (P < 0.001). Moreover the latter was higher than the former (P < 0.001). There was no difference between the patients with chronic tonsillitis within non-attacking period and the controls (P > 0.05). After treatment of antibiotics for 3-5 days, the SIL-2R Concentrations in serum in valid cases were obviously becoming lower.
Conclusion:
Determination of SIL-2R in serum was valuable for the diagnosis and curative effect judgement of tonsillitis.
