Abstract

Experimental work carried out over the past 20 years to study the activity of various functional groups in tonsillar cells in patients with chronic tonsillitis (CT) under local exposure to various immune response modifiers showed that:
- tonsillar cells from CT patients in 69.5% of cases are capable of increasing their immunofunctional activity under the influence of immune modifiers in vitro reactions;
- the most active of the group of immunotropic immune response modifiers are T-activin and Thymogen;
- it can be considered the optimal diagnostic technique to carry out a "stress" test on the tonsil tissue using nonspecific (alternating magnetic field of industrial (low) frequency and low-frequency ultrasound) and specific — a microbial vaccine when applied to the tonsil tissue;
- a non-invasive method for recording changes in the tonsils after stimulation may be fluctuations in the level of secretory immunoglobulin A and α-interferon in saliva after the test;
- an increase in the level of secretory immunoglobulin A and α-interferon by more than 1/3 of the initial level after the test is a clinically favorable sign and a recommendation for medical treatment to the managing of patients with CT.

Keywords

chronic tonsillitis, saliva, tonsillar tissue, secretory immunoglobulin, α-interferon.
