OBJECTIVE: Evaluation of the possible relationship between chronic adenotonsillitis and Helicobacter pylori (HP). PATIENTS AND METHODS: The study was performed prospectively on 91 pediatric patients who underwent tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy or adenotonsillectomy due to chronic tonsillitis and/or adenoiditis. The adenotonsillectomy specimens were examined for HP colonization by rapid urease test (RUT) and immunohistochemical evaluation. Before surgery, anti-HP IgG and IgA antibody titers were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test in venous blood samples of the patients. RESULTS: The RUT was positive in only two of the adenoidectomy specimens (2.2%) and in none of the tonsillectomy specimens. A positive result was not detected in any tonsillectomy specimens using immunohistochemical examination. Serum IgG antibody was positive in 21 (23%) patients, IgA antibody was detected in 7 (7.69%) patients and both tests were positive only in 3 (3.29%) patients. CONCLUSION: The results of this study suggested that HP would not colonize in tonsil tissue of patients with chronic tonsillitis. |
