The lymphoepithelial pharyngeal ring is located in the entrance gate and is constantly exposed to infectious agents. Currently, chronic pathology of the lymphoepithelial pharyngeal ring remains one of the most common problems in the practice of a pediatric doctor. Hypertrophy of the pharyngeal tonsil, chronic adenoiditis, which occurs in 35.3% of children under the age of 7 years, and chronic tonsillitis, which occurs in 15-63% of cases, are among the most common diseases of childhood. Taking into account the wide range of infectious microbiota that contributes to the development of chronic pathology of the lymphoepithelial pharyngeal ring, the issue of differential diagnosis of the etiology of the disease and the selection of adequate treatment regimens remains relevant. In most cases, at the present stage, the approach to the treatment of patients with chronic inflammation of the lymphoid ring of the pharynx in children is reduced to replacing the surgical method with a conservative one with the appointment of immunocorrective and immunomodulatory drugs. The lack of a positive effect of the ongoing conservative treatment, clinical and laboratory signs of persistent streptococcal infection say us about the need for surgical treatment. At the same time, a group of frequently ill children requires special attention with the development of new regimens of the immunocorrecting and immunomodulating drugs usage.
