The article presents the features of the course of chronic adenoiditis in children with allergic rhinitis. Allergic diseases of the upper respiratory tract and pathology of the pharyngeal tonsil today remain one of the most common diseases in pediatric practice and their pathogenetic mechanisms are often interrelated. The choice of treatment mode for this group of children is currently being actively discussed. The aim of the study is scientific-literary and practical consideration of the problem of the influence of an allergic factor on the pathogenesis of nasopharyngeal tonsil hypertrophy as a cause of chronic adenoiditis in children. The study examined 30 children with stage 2 adenoid hypertrophy, including 18 boys and 12 girls. A number of authors insist on the need to prioritize conservative management, while more and more evidence is emerging that there may often be indications for surgery. The prevalence of allergic diseases and adenoid vegetations in childhood has determined the relevance of studying the research problem. It is established that adenoids in allergic rhinitis become a kind of shock organ, on the surface of which inhaled allergens are delayed. It has been determined that in allergic rhinitis removal of adenoids has the ability to improve the general condition of the patient and relieve symptoms (including nasal congestion) and reduce the risk of various chronic pathologies (namely chronic otitis), and in obstructive sleep apnea — reduce the risk of suffocation. The algorithm of management of children with pathology of the pharyngeal tonsil in concomitant allergic diseases, where the first stage it is necessary to recommend treatment by an allergist, and only in the ineffectiveness of conservative therapy to perform surgery. It has been shown that most of the studied children (60–70%) with stage II nasopharyngeal tonsil hypertrophy showed allergic rhinitis and elevated levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines, which indicates the relationship of the disease with inflammatory diseases of the nasopharynx and immune system. It is determined that the problems of correct diagnosis of the causes of inflammation and hypertrophy of the nasopharyngeal tonsil and the strategy, tactics and correctness of their treatment deserve scientific attention.
Key words: adenoid hypertrophy, pharyngeal tonsil, allergy, allergic rhinitis.
