Cytokin indexes in children with chronic pathology in the pharyngeal tonsil
The authors have investigated pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory mediators (interleukins-6,8,10, tumour necrosis factor -α- TNF-) in 83 children aged 2-14 with chronic adenoiditis who had been prescribed surgical treatment. These parameters have been studied in blood serum before and after surgical treatment as well as in the excised lymphoid tissue. The results obtained have shown that in the study group cytokine hyperproduction with disbalance of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory interleukins took place.
