title: [Polymicrobial infections in recurrent tonsillitis and adenoiditis in children].
abstract: Bacteriological examination focused on the aerobic and anaerobic flora from ectomized tonsils in 17 patients with recurrent tonsillitis, in 8 patients with hypertrophy of the tonsils and 122 children with an adenoid vegetation confirmed microbial aetiology. In ectomized tonsils and adenoids aerobic gram-positive bacteria comprised most frequently staphylococci, and gram-negative bacteria H. influenzae. As to anaerobic gram-positive bacteria, they isolated most frequently peptostreptococci, and as to gram-negative ones B. fragilis from tonsils and Bacteroides sp. from adenoids. In the treatment of recurrent infections of the upper respiratory pathways it is important to use preferentially aminopenicillins combined with beta-lactamase inhibitors and lincosamides.
