A quantitative analysis of adenoid and tonsillar specimens from 460 patients was performed. The patients underwent tonsillectomy or adenotonsillectomy for either recurrent tonsillitis or obstructive tonsillar hypertrophy. Histologic preparations revealed Actinomycetes as statistically more prevalent in the obstructive population. The presence of Actinomycetes in the adenotonsillar core of this diagnostic group may indicate an etiologic role for this organism in tonsillar and adenoidal hypertrophy.
对460例患者的腺样体和扁桃体标本进行了定量分析。这些患者因复发性扁桃体炎或阻塞性扁桃体肥大接受了扁桃体切除术或腺样体扁桃体切除术。组织学制剂显示放线菌在阻塞性人群中在统计学上更为普遍。在该诊断组的腺样体扁桃体核心中存在放线菌可能表明该生物体在扁桃体和腺样体肥大中起病因学作用。
