[The evaluation of granulocyte function before and after surgical treatment in patients with chronic inflammation of the middle ear and palatine tonsils].
The aim examinations was the evaluation of granulocytes (PMNL) pre- and postsurgical treatment in patients with chronic inflammation of middle ear and palatine tonsils. The examined 40 persons and divided into three groups: I--18 patients with chronic inflammation of middle ear, II--10 ones with chronic tonsillitis and III--12 healthy persons. There were evaluated: "in vivo" and "in vitro" migration, bactericidal index and absorption of S. aureus labeled 14C isotope (phagocytic index) in the own modification. Preoperative treatment in patients with chronic inflammation of middle ear and palatine tonsils in comparison to the healthy were noticed: characteristic increase of the migration area, the MIF liberation and the phagocytic index, decrease in the bactericidal index (but more in group II). After a year postsurgical treatment the function of granulocytes in patients of group II was more similar to the healthy than in group I.
