Features of the disease

Features of the disease

Follicular sore throat is an acute inflammatory process in which various groups of tonsils are included, which are part of the lymphatic and pharyngeal system.

Inflammation affects not only the mucous membrane of the tonsils, but also their follicles located deeper.

The affected tonsils swell, increase in size, on their surface are formed clearly pronounced white abscesses , which over time grow, merge with each other, forming a purulent abscess. Appearance of such ulcers considered the main distinguishing feature of the disease of this type.

Pathology can develop as an independent (primary) disease, however, most often the follicular tonsillitis is manifested as a result of other infectious diseases occurring in the body (for example, diphtheria ).

Pathogens and infection routes

The causative agent of the disease are bacterial microorganisms .

You can become infected through direct contact with a virus carrier (air – droplet method), using common household items, such as dishes ( contact – household ).

However, the most common method of infection is the internal one, that is, when the child already has foci of infection in the body in the form of any infectious diseases that occur in a chronic form (untreated caries, inflammation of the nasal sinuses, ears).

However, the most common method of infection is the internal one, that is, when the child already has foci of infection in the body in the form of any infectious diseases that occur in a chronic form (untreated caries, inflammation of the nasal sinuses, ears)
