ABSTRACT
Chronic tonsillitis occupies a significant position in the structure of ENT-diseases. The relation between chronic tonsillitis and post-streptococcal infections is well known, and in the recent years there emerged a lot of reports about its relation with such kidney disease as IgA-nephropathy. In the article we demonstrate the necessity of sanation of the chronic infection foci in patients with such pathology based on 5 clinical cases.
