    Recurrent tonsil infections may be a cyclic immune issue. Treatment with a mixed respiratory bacterial vaccine improved patient resistance and symptoms, likely via cell-mediated immunity.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Otolaryngology
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Recurrent infections of the lingual tonsils, lateral pharyngeal lymphoid bands, and posterior pharyngeal wall lymphoid follicles suggest a cyclic clinical and immunological entity.
    • Patients often exhibit reduced resistance to the normal nasopharyngeal and pharyngeal flora.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present the concept of cyclic infections in pharyngeal lymphoid tissues.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of a mixed respiratory bacterial vaccine in improving resistance and immunity.
    • To explore the role of cell-mediated immunity in treatment outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Patients with recurrent pharyngeal lymphoid tissue infections were treated with an intradermal mixed respiratory bacterial vaccine.
    • Vaccine administration followed a specific, formulated program.

  • Immunological mechanisms, including cell-mediated and humoral immunity, were considered.

    • Main Results:

    • Patients receiving the bacterial vaccine showed definite clinical improvement.
    • The therapy was effective in enhancing lymphoid tissue resistance or immunity.
    • The study suggests cell-mediated immunity plays a key role in the therapeutic success.

    Conclusions:

    • Recurrent pharyngeal lymphoid infections can be viewed as a cyclic immunological entity.
    • Intradermal bacterial vaccination is a viable therapeutic approach to improve immunity.
    • Cell-mediated immunity, involving T cells, is crucial for the observed treatment effectiveness.
