Ocena wpływu alergenów pyłku brzozy na wielkość migdałka gardłowego u dzieci z alergicznym sezonowym nieżytem nosa

Marek Modrzyński¹, Edward Zawisza²

Summary
The adenoid is a part of Waldeyer´s ring, the basic function of which is antibody formation, they react later against a great variety of antigens. Pediatric adenoidal obstruction of the nasal airway is associated with significant morbidity and is a frequent indication for surgery, but its relationship to allergy has been not often studied. To examine the influence of atopy on the adenoid hypertrophy we studied 9 children ages 4 to 8 years, who had hypersensivity to birch pollen and the sesonal allergic rhinitis. We conclude that allergy and sensivity to birch pollen and probably to another kinds of airallergens is an important risk factor for a AH in children, therefore, early prevention of exposure to them may help reduce occurence of AH.
