[Frequency of adenoid hypertrophy in children with allergic diseases].

Tonsils and adenoid are part of Waldeyer's ring, the basic function of which is antibody formation, they react later against a great variety of antigens. The role of enlarged adenoids and tonsils in upper airway obstruction has become well-established earlier, thus, adenoidectomy with, or without, tonsillectomy is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures in the paediatric population. Research done in respect to Waldeyer's ring on people dealing at the same time with allergy, is seldom the subject of dissertation in polish as well as world wide medical literature. To examine the influence of atopy on the adenoid hypertrophy we studied 115 children ages 4 to 9 years, with an average age of 5.9 who had allergic rhinitis asthma or atopic dermatitis. The study suggested that allergic rhinitis is an important risk factor for an adenoid hypertrophy (AH) in children, therefore, early prevention of exposure to them may help reduce occurrence of AH.
