Abstract

In order to exclude errors in choosing the treatment strategy in case of chronic tonsillitis it needs to develop new contemporary diagnostic and prognostic criteria. [1, 2] The purpose of our research was to determine immunohistochemical peculiarities of the palatine tonsils during the evolution of different forms of chronic tonsillitis in children.
