Fungal adenoiditis and tonsillomycosis in children: features of diagnosis and therapy

Abstract

The purpose of the work is to study the current state of the problem of diagnosing and treating fungal adenoiditis and tonsillomycosis in children. This article summarizes the literature data on the predisposing factors and characteristics of the occurrence of fungal infections of adenoid vegetations and tonsils in children. The works present modern approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of children with fungal adenoiditis and tonsillomycosis, depending on the selected genus and the type of fungus. Based on the conducted research, performed on the basis of "The Sverzhevskiy Otorhinolaryngology Healthcare Research Institute", we found that the incidence of fungal adenoiditis in children is 16.4%, and the incidence of tonsillomicosis in children with chronic tonsillitis is 21.5%. The most frequently detected strain in this pathology is C. albicans. In the presented study, a justification of the chosen treatment regimen was made on the basis of the data obtained during microbiological (bacteriological and mycological) studies.
