ABSTRACT
Palatine tonsils pathology is the most widespread class of pharynx diseases. Epidemiological studies prove the permanent growth thereof. First of all, it concerns chronic tonsillitis. The practical experience of several generations of otorhinolaryngologists and the scientific studies conducted prove that antibacterial and immunomodulatory therapy, system and local physiotherapeutic methods do not prevent the progress of chronic tonsillitis which is obviously related to the existence of other factors of generation and chronization of the disease, alongside with viral and bacterial one. The lymphoid ring, located at the interface of digestive and respiratory tract, is permanently affected by viruses, bacteria, pollutants, allergens, including nutritive one. That is, the “first line” of human immune defense is being permanently stressed and sometimes it cannot withstand the infection and antigenic load.
Considering morphofunctional integrity of immune system, first of all, the intestine, having the area of more than 200 sq.m, we find it possible to apply the normalization of immunity and microbiota of tonsils and intestine in the complex treatment of chronic tonsillitis.
Medicinal treatment, providing elimination of pathogens, often reduces the protective mechanisms, therefore, it is important to create the conditions for restoration of microbiocenosis of palatine tonsils and intestine in chronic tonsillitis with the concomitant intestine pathology, it presupposes a general assessment approach to the prescribed therapy. Despite the existing conservative methods of treatment of chronic tonsillitis, so far there is no algorithm providing recovery or long-term disease remission. The existing regimens of chronic tonsillitis treatment are usually fragmentary. The approach to the treatment of the disease based on normalization of operation and restoration of immunity and microbiota may be pathogenetically justified.
