Abstract

Purpose: to study the dynamics of the incidence of chronic tonsillitis in the population of the Samara region for 2018-2021.Materials and methods: retrospective analysis of information on the number of diseases registered in patients living in the service area of a medical organization with a first diagnosis based on the data of the annual reporting forms No. 12, No. 14 for 2018–2021.Results. The primary incidence of chronic tonsil disease is highest in children aged 0 to 14 years and tends to increase in primary incidence in 2021. There is a positive trend in the form of a decrease in the number of children with CMD. Compared to 2018, the number of patients with CMD in 2021 decreased by 35%. In all age groups there is a decrease in the prevalence of cases of chronic diseases of the tonsils.Conclusions. CMD occupies the 4th place in the structure of respiratory diseases in the age group from 0 to 14 years, while in other age groups this pathology ranks sixth. The primary incidence of CBM is highest in children (0–14 years old) and adolescents (15–18 years old). The prevalence of CBM is also high in children and adolescents and is almost 9–15 times lower in adults (18–60 years old) and persons over 60 years of age. However, in the group of adults (18–60 years old) the number of patients registered in the dispensary is quite high.
