The adenoids hyperplasia and adenotomy effects on the children’s immunity and health

Abstract

The current literature review presents data of adenoids hyperplasia and adenotomy effect on the children’s immunity and health. The presence of adenoid hyperplasia in a child was found to provide conditions for higher prevalence of severe respiratory pathology due to prolonged colonization by pathogenic and opportunistic microorganisms against the background of morpho-functional rearrangement of mucosal immunity structures with its transient insufficiency. Adenotomy has a positive effect only as a means of eliminating mechanical obstructions to nasal breathing, without affecting other components of the pathological process in the nasopharynx of children with adenoid hyperplasia.
