Blood parameters may help in the detection of acute tonsillitis?
Keywords:
acute tonsillitis, hematological parameters, blood, tonsillectomyAbstract
Acute tonsillitis is a five or more episodes of true tonsillitis in one a year or symptoms of tonsillitis for at least one year. This study was determined hematological values helping in diagnosis in cases with acute tonsillitis. An observational study done over one years from Nov 2021 to Nov 2022. Study sample included admitted patients (n= 100) with tonsillitis. Demographical data, and blood samples had been drawn from all for estimation of hematology parameters post tonsillectomy. Prior to tonsillectomy, a two milliliters of venous blood collected into tubes for testing. All variables were insignificantly different, however, previous attack have high statistical significant (P<0.01). In brief a significant difference between two groups were found for WBC, LYM, NEU, PLT, and Hb plus PCV. The use of the complete blood parameters are sensitive for diagnosis of tonsillitis. Male, obese, poor, low educated, and positive family history, have negative predication effect on occurrence of tonsillitis. Frequent attacks of tonsillitis have positive predictive effect on incidence of tonsillitis.
