THERMOSEMIOTICS OF ACUTE TONSILLITIS

Research purpose - to set the thermosemiotics of acute tonsillitis by the exposure of infrared features in a submandibular region and on the hands of healthy people, and also comparisons of the got results with the corresponding indexes of such patients. 95 patients with acute tonsillitis, and also 32 healthy volunteers with a normal temperature bodies without tonsil pathology were examined. Age of inspected persons was from 20 to 58 years. For achievement to the aim of investigation medical thermal imager ТІ-120 was used. Thermal images were estimated visually and by use of program package «IRSee Software». For patients with acute tonsillitis clear strong positive correlation between the temperature of half of submandibular region and warming-up in the center of hands (r=0,816…0,853 at Р<0,01) and in the middle thenar on a corresponding side - r=0,792...0,829 at Р<0,01. is traced. Temperature distribution of right and left submandibular region and both hands of healthy persons is symmetric. Significant differences between females and males are not present. Between age and temperature of submandibular region there is reliable middle force reverse dependence - r=-0,392 at Р<0,05, and also it is between age and temperature of middle of palm - r=-0, 376 at Р<0,05.
