据报告A组链球菌扁桃体炎的临床和细菌学复发占扁桃体炎病人的10～25%。由于没有象预防接种这样的预防措施,病人通常需行扁桃体切除术。腭扁桃体是免疫反应淋巴器官,对各种抗原可产生特异性抗体,有 T、B 淋巴细胞活性。早先研究已报告,扁桃体切除后血清总免疫球蛋白(IgG、A、M)减少,但未见有关扁桃体切除术对细菌抗原特异血清抗体反 A group of streptococcal tonsillitis is reported to account for 10-25% of clinical and bacteriological recurrences in patients with tonsillitis. In the absence of such preventative measures as vaccination, patients usually require tonsillectomy. Tonsils of the palatine glands are immunoreactive lymphoid organs that produce specific antibodies to various antigens and have T and B lymphocyte activity. Earlier studies have reported reductions in total serum immunoglobulins (IgG, A, M) after tonsillectomy but no evidence of adverse reactions to tonsillectomy on bacterial antigens
