| Summary: | Background. Tonsillar pathology has long been a general medical problem and is of great interest not only to otorhinolaryngologists, but also to doctors of many other specialties. The central place in the pathology of the palatine tonsils is occupied by chronic tonsillitis, the prevalence of which reaches up to 10-15% among the population. Along with this, chronic tonsillitis is often an interrelated disease and this relationship of chronic tonsillitis is extremely diverse. About the existence of a relationship between diseases of the palatine tonsils and other organs mentioned in ancient times.Objective. The aim of the work was to study the incidence of chronic tonsillitis in individuals with chronic opisthorchiasis invasion, which is a natural focal infection of the area due to the large proportion of cyprinid fish infected with opisthorchiasis in the diet of the population and the low level of knowledge of preventive measures for this helminthiasis. Materials and methods. Under observation were 106 patients aged 18 to 55 years, among whom were 60 men, 46 women. The observed patients lived in the northern districts of the region from 3 and more than 10 years.Results. It has been shown that with an invasion duration of more than 10 years, the frequency of registration of chronic tonsillitis was detected in 48.2% of patients, with an invasion duration of up to 5 years – in 19.6% of persons, while with an invasion of up to 3 years – in 7.1% of patients. Tonsillitis-associated process in the palatine tonsils is more often diagnosed in people aged 20 to 39 years, both among men and women, although in men it is 13.2% more common.Conclusion. Worm infestation, multiplying in the body, causes a number of disturbances in the mechanisms of homeostasis, general immunity, leading to the "disposition" of the body, which in turn weakens the body, allowing the microbial agent to more actively invade the lymphoid tissue. |
