Investigation was performed on 68 children (24 girls and 44 boys) aged of 3-14, who was qualified by paediatricians for cytological evaluation of the nasal mucosa. They had undergone treatment for chronic upper respiratory tract infection and had clinical symptoms of the adenoidal hypertrophy. The adenoidal hypertrophy in children was confirmed by x-ray of nasopharynx. Seven children had previously undergone adenoidectomy and 3 had recurrent otitis. In the investigated group of children the majority of cytograms contained high level of neutrophils (> 50% of the total number of cells). Only 2 children showed normal cytogram. Discovery of substantial eosinophilia of the nasal mucosa (11.76% of investigated children) indicates that allergy diagnosis should be performed in children with adenoidal hypertrophy.
对68名3至14岁的儿童（24名女孩和44名男孩）进行了调查，这些儿童经儿科医生评估适合进行鼻黏膜细胞学检查。他们曾接受过慢性上呼吸道感染治疗，并有腺样体肥大的临床症状。儿童腺样体肥大通过鼻咽部X光检查得以确诊。7名儿童此前接受过腺样体切除术，3名儿童患有复发性中耳炎。在被调查的儿童组中，大多数细胞涂片显示中性粒细胞水平较高（占细胞总数的50%以上）。只有2名儿童的细胞涂片显示正常。鼻黏膜出现大量嗜酸性粒细胞（占被调查儿童的11.76%）表明，对于腺样体肥大的儿童应进行过敏诊断。
