Chronic Compensated Tonsillopharingitis: Clinical and Microbiological Features

Abstract

The article presents the results of a complex clinical and bacteriological study aimed at determining the quantitative and qualitative composition of the microflora of the pharyngeal lymphatic ring in patients with chronic compensated tonsillopharyngitis, including identification of microorganisms followed by determination of their sensitivity toward antibacterial and antimycotic drugs. β-hemolytic streptococcus was revealed to be the most etiologically significant microorganism in the development of chronic compensated tonsillopharyngitis. In addition, populations of microorganisms growing in the throat of such patients were found to exhibit high resistance toward antibacterial and antifungal drugs.
