AMBIGUOUSNESS OF DIAGNOSTIC VALUE OF SOME LABORATORY DIAGNOSTICS METHODS AT CHRONIC TONSILLITIS

Abstract

The issue of diagnostics and therapy of chronic tonsillitis remains the most difficult and urgent in otorhinolaryngology. Detection of titers to streptolysin Beta-hemolytic streptococcus when determining the therapeutic tactics and management of patients with chronic tonsillitis is a sufficiently frequent diagnostic criterion in the RF. When analyzing the literature data and results of own studies a dubious value of Antistreptolysin O for determination of the degree of the inflammatory process degree in palatine tonsils and making up a plan of therapeutic measures based on this value was identified.
