Neutrophil random motility and chemotactic responsiveness were determined in 17 healthy adults and 19 adult patients with chronic tonsillitis before and 10 days after tonsillectomy, using a modified Boyden chamber method. The mean chemotactic index values of the healthy controls were significantly higher when compared with the chronic tonsillitis patients before tonsillectomy. The postoperative mean chemotactic values were increased, and there was a statistically significant difference between the mean chemotactic index of neutrophils in preoperative and postoperative patients. The authors conclude that this change in host defense mechanism may be the reason for frequent attacks of acute tonsillitis in these patients.
采用改良的Boyden小室法，在17名健康成年人以及19名患有慢性扁桃体炎的成年患者扁桃体切除术前和术后10天测定中性粒细胞随机运动和趋化反应性。与扁桃体切除术前的慢性扁桃体炎患者相比，健康对照组的平均趋化指数值显著更高。术后平均趋化值增加，术前和术后患者中性粒细胞的平均趋化指数之间存在统计学上的显著差异。作者得出结论，宿主防御机制的这种变化可能是这些患者急性扁桃体炎频繁发作的原因。
