The concept of tonsillar outbreak infection

Abstract

Tonsillar outbreak infection is an non-discharging inflammatory disease of the connective tissue, with multiple organ manifestations, with a self-timing nature, being chronologically and etiopathogenically linked to the infection with beta-hemolytic streptococcus group A. An important role for the emergence and persistence of the outbreak infection is assigned to the poor local immunity, which is translated, among others, by low levels of serum and secretory IgA in upper respiratory mucosa. Tonsil immune pathology is at the origin of various diseases, mainly cardiac and renal. We present some data regarding the concept of tonsillar infection, hoping to help the physicians in making better decisions for the amigdalectomy indication.
