METHOD FOR EVALUATING FUNCTIONAL STATE OF IMMUNE SYSTEM OF PALATINE TONSILS IN PATIENTS WITH PARATONSILLITIS

摘要

FIELD: medicine, otorhinolaryngology, immunology. ^ SUBSTANCE: in the tissue of palatine tonsils in patients with paratonsillitis it is necessary to detect Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) for determining the content of salivary immunoglobulin G. At detecting EBV in bioptate and IgG content being below 20 mcg/ml one should determine the functional failure of immune system of palatine tonsils. ^ EFFECT: higher accuracy of evaluation. ^ 1 tbl
