title: [Factors in the development of chronic infection foci in the nasopharynx].
abstract: Antigens were studied of HLA system in always ailing patients presenting with the formed chronic focus of infection in the tonsils. A total of 56 patients with chronic decompensated tonsillitis who were assigned for tonsillectomy by clinical indications were examined together with 53 essentially healthy subjects. Tonsillitis patients revealed HLA-antigens B7, A1, associations A10B7, more frequently than controls, the difference being statistically significant. The data obtained are helpful in identification of risk groups in relation to formation in recurrent respiratory diseases of chronic focal pathology in the nasopharynx.
