[Modern approaches to diagnostics of the diseases associated with chronic tonsillitis].

The objective of the present study was to analyse risk factors and the clinical course of general diseases and disorders associated with chronic tonsillitis. We overviewed domestic and foreign periodicals and present the data thus obtained together with the results of our original investigations. The study permitted to elucidate the risk factors of the complicated clinical picture of chronic tonsillar pathology and substantiate the necessity of the active surgical treatment for the prevention of the development of toxico-allergic forms of this disease. The importance of thorough diagnostics of the diseases concomitant with chronic tonsillitis both for the purpose of identification of its form and for the prevention of the development of serious life-threatening complications is emphasized.
