title: [Leukocytic intoxication index in tonsillar diseases].
abstract: Leukocytic intoxication index (LII) was calculated according to Ya. Ya. Kalf-Kalif formula in 184 patients with tonsillar affections. It grew from follicular and lacunar angina to paratonsillitis and paratonsillar abscesses early in the disease and fell on the treatment day 6. In chronic decompensated tonsillitis before and after tonsillectomy LII was not informative. To predict outcomes in anginas, paratonsillitis and paratonsillar abscesses, follow-up of LII is recommended.
