Intracellular Persisting Staphylococcus aureus Is the Major Pathogen in Recurrent Tonsillitis

Abstract: BackgroundThe two major indications for tonsillectomy are recurrent tonsillitis (RT) and peritonsillar abscess (PTA). Unlike PTAs, which are primarily treated surgically, RT is often cured by tonsillectomy only after a series of failed drug therapy attempts. Although the bacteriological background of RT has been studied, the reason for the lack of success of conservative therapeutic approaches is not well understood.MethodsIn a prospective study, tonsil specimens from 130 RT patients and 124 PTA patients were … Show more

“…The Gram-negative rod-shaped H. infl uenzae is one of the quantitatively most important bacterial causes of URTI [1,2], being frequently isolated from adult patients with recurrent tonsillitis and retropharyngeal abscesses [7][8][9]. H. infl uenzae frequently occurs in coinfections with other pathogens like Staphylococcus aureus [7,10], or -associated in biofi lms -with Streptococcus pneumoniae [11].…”

“…H. infl uenzae frequently occurs in coinfections with other pathogens like Staphylococcus aureus [7,10], or -associated in biofi lms -with Streptococcus pneumoniae [11]. Next to H. infl uenzae-caused URTI, asymptomatic colonization of the upper respiratory tract by this species is frequently observed [12,13] with colonization rates of 30% in healthy volunteers [12].…”

“…Бактериальные патогены, вызывающие обострение про-цесса, обычно персистируют в ротоглотке. При этом боль-шинство бактериальных патогенов находятся не на поверхности слизистой, а в основном в строме небных миндалин, что определяет низкую информативность бак-териологического исследования мазка-отпечатка, взятого с поверхности небных миндалин или задней стенки глот-ки в период ремиссии [21,22]. Как и при остром тонзил-лите, БГСА играет важную роль в этиологии острого реци-дивирующего и обострения хронического тонзиллита.…”

“…pyogenes выделяется из ткани удаленных небных миндалин у 20-30% пациентов с хроническим тонзиллитом. Однако ведущим бактериальным патогеном при хроническом тонзиллите на сегодняшний день принято считать золоти-стый стафилококк (Staphylococcus aureus), выделяемый, по разным данным, из ткани небных миндалин у пациен-тов с хроническим тонзиллитом в 30-80% случаев [21][22][23][24]. Подавляющее большинство случаев паратонзил-лярных абсцессов, развивающихся как осложнение хро-нического тонзиллита, обусловлены именно этим патоге-ном [23].…”
