Abstract

This study was conducted on 90 subjects whom have visited the AL-Sadder Medical City and Al-Hakeem hospital in AL- Najaf governorate between the period extended from February to August, 2013. Subjects of this study were seventy chronic or recurrent tonsillitis patients, their age ranged from: 4-33 years and comprised of 29 males and 41 females.. In addition, 20 (age-and sex-matched) healthy adults without any evidence of chronic inflammatory disease depended as the control group.

        Five milliliters of blood sample collected from each patient , for the purpose of obtaining a serum sample and measured the concentration of cytokines using ELISA technique .
Results showed a significant increase to the high concentration of cytokines : interferon - gamma , colony stimulating factor granule cells and mononuclear , in all the groups of patients compared with those of healthy control group
