Abstract: The aim of this work is to draw the attention of otorhinolaryngologists to the advantages of early conservative treatment of children with hypertrophy of the nasopharyngeal tonsil - adenoids. In childhood, a significant part of the protective and informational functions lies on the pharyngeal tonsil, since it is in the path of inhaled air. Unfavourable environmental conditions exacerbate its functional failure. Pathology of the lymphopharyngeal ring is highly prevalent and occupies a leading place among ENT di… Show more

Inflammatory diseases of the pharynx in children

et al. 2022

Introduction. Inflammatory diseases of the lymphoid ring of the pharynx in children are widespread and account for more than 30% in the structure of ENT pathology. Lymphoid tissue, especially the palatine tonsils, largely determines the formation of local and general protective reactions of the child’s body.The aim of this work is to assess the efficacy and safety of using topical bacterial lysate in chronic tonsillitis of streptococcal and herpes viral etiology in frequently ill children.Materials and methods. The study was conducted on a sample of 31 children aged 7–17 who were treated in the pediatric department of the Saint Petersburg Research Institute of Ear, Throat, Nose and Speech inpatiently or outpatiently, which were divided into 2 groups. Group 1 consisted of 15 children with decompensated chronic tonsillitis of streptococcal etiology, who were prescribed tonsillectomy according to indications. Group 2 consisted of 16 children with chronic compensated tonsillitis, who, after an acute respiratory infection, showed signs of acute pharyngitis in the form of pain and discomfort in the throat, perspiration, low-grade body temperature. In both groups children were prescribed to take topical baclerial lysates.Results. A subjective pain relief of sore throat in patients (groups 1 and 2) was observed from day 2–3 of administration of the topical bacterial lysate. The clinical therapeutic effect resulted in decreased intensity of inflammation of the posterior pharyngeal wall, reduction in size and tenderness of regional lymph nodes from day 4–5 of administration of the drug. The clinical recovery from acute pharyngitis in children of both groups was observed in 98% of cases at visit 3.Conclusion. The persistence of pathogenic viruses and bacteria contributes to the development of secondary immunodeficiency states and participates in the formation of a kind of “vicious circle” In these causes prescription of topical baclerial lysates may be an effective conservation therapy as well as antibiotics and antiviral drugs. The drug showed its efficacy in the treatment of acute and chronic diseases of the pharynx in children of both viral and bacterial etiology.

Features of preoperative diagnosis of chronic lymphoproliferative syndrome of ENT organs in young children

2023

Introduction. To determine the tactics of management of chronic lymphoproliferative syndrome in young children, a comprehensive examination is necessary. Herpesvirus infection (HVI) plays an important role in the etiology of hypertrophy of lymphoid formations of the pharynx.Purpose. To evaluate the results of preoperative diagnosis of chronic lymphoproliferative syndrome in children in early childhood.Materials and methods. In 96 patients aged 1 to 3 years 11 months with lymphoproliferative syndrome more than 3–6 months, endoscopy, otomicroscopy, impedance, ultrasound examination of abdominal organs, cervical and submandibular lymph nodes, serological and molecular genetic analyses of markers of EBV, CMV, HCV-6 in the blood; PCR in pharyngeal tonsil scrapings were performed.Results and discussion. The clinical picture in children with chronic lymphoproliferative syndrome of younger age was dominated by complaints of difficulty in nasal breathing, snoring in 42% of children, recurrent otitis in 58%, manifestations of asthenovegetative and intoxication syndromes and frequent acute respiratory viral infections in 70% of patients. A high degree of infection of children of the younger age group was revealed – HCV-6 in 87%, CMV in 63% of children, 46% – EBV. And high activity of the infectious process in 31% of patients for all three GVI, more often for EBV in 27%. A combination of two or three GVI was detected in 83% of patients. During instrumental examination, a high degree of hypertrophy of the nasopharyngeal tonsils (adenoid vegetations of 2–3 degrees – 67% and 3 degrees – 18%, combined with hypertrophy of the palatine tonsils in 27% of cases), an increase in neck lymph nodes of more than 16mm, including lymph node packs in 28% of younger children and reactive hepatosplenomegaly in 17.7% of patients.Conclusion. To determine the tactics of management of chronic lymphoproliferative syndrome in young children, it is important to assess the severity of lymphoproliferative syndrome according to the clinical picture and instrumental research methods (nasopharyngeal endoscopy, ultrasound examination of neck and abdominal lymph nodes) in combination with laboratory data and characteristics of the stage of activity of the infectious process of herpesvirus etiology.

The article analyzes the data of modern literature on the microbiota of ENT organs in normal and pathological conditions. The microbiota plays an important role in maintaining homeostasis by influencing metabolism, the immune system and human physiology. This complex of microorganisms includes bacteria, viruses and fungi that form the biofilm of otolaryngological organs, which prevents the penetration of pathogenic microorganisms. Different parts of the human upper respiratory tract have similar types of bacteria, but it differs dramatically at the level of families and genera. In addition, the balance of microbial flora depends on the immune system status, environmental factors, medication intake, age, race, lifestyle, as well as the health of other ENT organs. Changes in the nasal mucosa in allergic rhinitis are often associated with an increase in the content of bacteria. For example, Staphylococcus aureus can cause more severe nasal congestion in conjunction with protracted rhinitis and sinusitis. The production of bacterial proteinases contributes to easier penetration of allergens and activation of mucosal cells. The absence of microbiota can increase the response of the immune system and reduce the number of cells that contribute to the regulation of inflammation. This review presents an analysis of the composition of the normal microflora of otolaryngological organs and its effect on the occurrence of allergic rhinitis.
