本世纪初对腭及咽扁桃体引起重视,特别是Hunter(1901)认为全身疾病由扁桃体局部感染引起,并得到不少学者支持,因此有关扁桃体、腺样体的文献很多,如1932年有333篇、1933年有352篇。本世纪30年代以后有关这方面的文献虽然减少,但也并不否定以上学说。1971年有242篇扁桃体和62篇腺样体的论述,1972年类似。 At the beginning of this century, attention was paid to the palate and pharyngeal tonsils. In particular, Hunter (1901) considered systemic diseases caused by local tonsil infection and obtained many scholars’ support. Therefore, there are many literatures about tonsils and adenoids, such as 333 in 1932 , 352 in 1933. Although the literature about this area has been reduced since the 1930s, it does not negate the above theory. A review of 242 tonsils and 62 adenoids in 1971 was similar in 1972.
