Chlamydophila pneumoniae Infection Assessment in Children with Adenoid Hypertrophy Concomitant with Rhino Sinusitis

Chlamydophila pneumoniae Infection Assessment in Children With Adenoid Hypertrophy Concomitant With Rhino Sinusitis

BACKGROUND Since adenoids may act as a reservoir for bacteria, they can cause ear infection, recurrent otitis and recurrent adenotonsillitis. Therefore, adenotonsillectomy is an efficient method for reducing the number and severity of subsequent infections. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to determine the Chlamydophila pneumonia infection by serological tests and performing PCR in the adenoid tis...
