Abstract:
The investigations on the occurrence of CIC were carried out in 65 children with chronic tonsillitis, 39 with hypertrophy of pharyngeal tonsil and 14 children with chronic tonsillitis and hypertrophy of pharyngeal tonsil. Immune complexes were found in 20 children with chronic tonsillitis and in 5 children with chronic tonsillitis and hypertrophy of pharyngeal tonsil. In the control group (20 healthy children) and in children with hypertrophy of pharyngeal tonsil immune complexes are not detected. Screening of CIC in the period from 1 to 3 months after tonsillectomy or adenotonsillectomy showed disappearance of CIC determined by PEG precipitation method.
