[Chlamydial infection in chronic adenoiditis children]
Abstract:
The examination of 169 children aged 3-15 years admitted to ENT department for exacerbation of chronic adenoiditis has shown high chlamydial contamination of the pharyngeal mucosa. Identification of chlamydial structures and specific antibodies was performed with application of direct (polymerase chain reaction, immunofluorescence) and indirect (EIA) methods. Specific structure of the verified pathogens as well as clinical manifestations of adenoiditis associated with chlamydial infection and characteristics of immune response of the child to chlamydia are described.

Chronic Pharyngitis
Etiology
It often arises from persistent viral or bacterial infections affecting sinuses and tonsils.
Additional contributing factors include inadequate dental hygiene, mouth breathing, recurring tonsillitis, allergic rhinitis, laryngopharyngeal reflux, and exposure to smoke, chemicals, and other environmental pollutants. Allergic reactions to pollen, mold, and pet dander, chronic cough, excessive voice usage,...

Acute Pharyngitis
Acute pharyngitis is the inflammation of the back of the throat (pharynx), commonly resulting in a sore throat. It is a frequently encountered condition that prompts individuals to seek medical advice.
Classification
Acute pharyngitis can be categorized based on its underlying cause:
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease III: Chronic Bronchitis Features
Tonsillitis I: Introduction
Etiology
Three primary contributing factors have been identified.
Sexually Transmitted Infections
