[Cellular composition of palatine tonsil imprints in the differential diagnosis of uncomplicated chronic tonsillitis with a tonsillo-cardiac syndrome and chronic tonsillitis with rheumatism].
The authors studied imprints of tonsillar sections stained both by the method of Pappeneheim and that of Stockinger and Kellner taken from 205 patients with chronic non-complicated tonsillitis, chronic tonsillitis with tonsillocardiac syndrome and chronic tonsillitis with rheumatism, the rheumatic process being of various stages of activity. A comparison of the preparations received shows that the organism's immunologic reformation resulting from the rheumatic process is characterised by growing reticulolymphoblastic, plasmocellular and macrophage reactions and vivification of sinuslymphocytopoiesis which proved to be in strict correlation with the extent of rheumatic activity.
