Tonsillitis Definition: Is an inflammation of the tonsils. Types: Acute tonsillitis Chronic tonsillitis
Slide 5-

Acute tonsillitis Classification: acute catarrhal or superficial tonsillitis: Here tonsillitis is a part of generalized pharyngitis and seen in viral infections acute follicular tonsillitis: In which tonsillar crypts become filled with purulent materials
Slide 6-

acute parenchymatous tonsillitis: Here tonsils are uniformly enlarged and red acute membranous tonsillitis: The exudates in the crypts coalesces to form membrane on the surface
Slide 7-

Acute Membranous Tonselitis
Slide 8-

Acute Folliculer Tonselitis
Slide 9-

Acute Parenchymatous Tonselitis
Slide 10-

Acute catarhal tonselitis
Slide 11-

Etiology: Affects school-age children but adults can also be affected. It is rare in infants (< 1 year age) and persons above 50 years.
Slide 12-

Causative organisms: Group A beta hemolytic streptococci Haemophilus influenzae Streptococcus pneumoniae Staphylococci Tuberculosis (in immunocompromised) Viruses: adenovirus, Epstein-Bar virus and herpes simplex virus
Slide 13-

Symptoms: sore throat difficulty in swallowing + pain fever (can be accompanied by rigors and chills) ear ache headache generalized body fatigue
Slide 14-

Signs: breath is foetid and tongue is coated hyperaemia of the pillars, soft palate and uvula red and swollen tonsils with yellowish spots in the crypts (follicular tonsillitis) , whitish membrane on the medial surface of the tonsils (membranous tonsillitis) or enlarged and congestive tonsils with swollen uvula (acute parenchymatous tonsillitis) enlarged and tender jugulodigastric lymph nodes
Slide 15-

Treatment: bed rest + plenty of fluids analgesia (Aspirin or Paracetamol) antimicrobial (Penicillin is the drug of choice) should be continued for 7 -10 days
Slide 16-

Differential diagnosis: Diphtheria Infectious mononucleosis malignancy (lymphoma, leukemia)
Slide 19-

Indications for tonsillectomy: recurrent infections (> 6 times per year) peritonsilar abscess possibility of malignancy sleep apnoea febrile convulsions
Slide 20-

Chronic tonsillitis Types: chronic follicular tonsillitis chronic parenchymatous tonsillitis chronic fibroid tonsillitis
Slide 21-

Etiology: may be a complication of acute tonsillitis subclinical infection of tonsils without acute attack chronic infection of sinuses or teeth may be a predisposing factor
Slide 22-

Clinical features: recurrent attacks of acute tonsillitis chronic irritation in throat and cough bad taste in mouth and foul breath (halitosis)
Slide 23-

Treatment: conservative treatment: attention to diet, general health and treatment of coexisting infections of teeth, sinuses and nose. tonsillectomy: if tonsils interfere with deglutition, speech, respiration or there is recurrent attacks of tonsillitis
Slide 24-

Adenoids (Nasopharyngeal tonsil) situated at the junction of the posterior wall and roof of the nasopharynx composed of lymphoid tissues covered by columnar epithelium it is present at birth physiologically enlarged up to 6 years then regress and completely disappears by the age of 20
Slide 25-

Adenoid
Slide 26-

Enlarged Adenoid
Slide 27-

Etiology: Recurrent attacks of rhinitis, tonsillitis and sinusitis cause adenoid infection and hyperplasia
Slide 28-

Symptoms: nasal obstruction mouth breathing nasal discharge adenoid face: elongated face, dull expression, nasal discharge, open mouth, hitched-up upper lip, prominent and overcrowded upper teeth, high-arched palate pulmonary hypertension
Slide 29-

Adenoid Face 1
Slide 30-

Adenoid Face 2
Slide 31-

Diagnosis: nasopharyngoscopy X-ray nasopharynx lateral view
Slide 32-

Treatment: When symptoms are not severe, decongestant nasal drops + antihistamines is the treatment of choice Marked symptoms, treatment is adenoidectomy
