Year 2013, Volume: 2013 Issue: 3, 301 - 304, 01.03.2013

Abstract

Background: There are insufficient data in the literature on the presence of Helicobacter pylori in tonsil and adenoid tissue of patients with only airway obstruction. This study examined the presence of H. pylori in surgical cases with airway obstruction or recurrent infection. Aims: To investigate the relationship between H. pylori adenotonsillar colonisation and the frequency of adenotonsillitis and to compare paediatric and adult patients according to H. pylori tonsillar colonisation. Study Design: Prospective clinical trial. Methods: Patients scheduled for adenoidectomy or tonsillectomy were classified into three groups based on indications: paediatric infection (n=29), paediatric obstruction (n=29) and adult infection (n=12). Tissue samples obtained from patients were examined for the presence of H. pylori by culture, rapid urease test and polymerase chain reaction. Results: Forty-nine tonsil tissues were examined. Positive results were found in two specimens with the rapid urease test (4.1%) and three with polymerase chain reaction examination (6.1%). Only three positive polymerase chain reaction results (5.8%) were identified in 52 adenoid tissue samples. There were no statistically significant differences in the presence of H. pylori between paediatric infection and obstruction groups or between paediatric infection and adult infection groups. Conclusion: In our study, there was a low incidence of H. pylori colonisation in tonsil and adenoid tissues. Regarding H. pylori colonisation, there was no significant difference between paediatric infection and obstruction groups. Also, no significant difference was found between adult and paediatric cases. Turkish Başlık: Adenotonsiller Helicobacter pylori kolonizasyonu ile Adenotonsilit Sıklığı Arasındaki İlişki Anahtar kelimeler: Helicobacter pylori, adenoid, tonsil, kolonizasyon, Enfeksiyon sıklığı, PCR Arkaplan: Literatürde sadece hava yolu obstrüksiyonu olan olgularda tonsil ve adenoid dokuda Helicobacter pylori( H.pylori )varlığı ile ilgili yeterli bilgi bulunmamaktadır. Bu çalışmada obstrüksiyon veya reküren enfeksiyon nedeniyle cerrahi uygulanan olgularda H.pylori varlığı incelenmiştir. Amaç: Adenotonsiller dokuda H.pylori colonizasyonu ile adenotonsilit sıklığı arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek, pediatrik ve erişkin olguları tonsil dokusunda H.pylori kolonizasyonu açısından karşılaştırmak. Çalışma Tasarımı: Prospektif klinik çalışma, Üçüncü basamak sağlık merkezi Yöntemler: Adenoidektomi ve tonsilektomi planlanan olgular endikasyonlarına göre üç gruba ayrıldı: pediatrik enfeksiyon (n=29), pediatrik obstrüksiyon (n=29) ve erişkin enfeksiyon (n=12). Olgulardan toplanan doku örnekleri, h.pylori varlığı açısından kültür, rapid urease test ve polimeraz zincir reaksiyonu (PCR) ile incelendi. Bulgular: 49 tonsil dokusu incelendi. Rapid urease test ile iki olguda (%4.1) ve PCR ile üç olguda (%6.1) pozitif sonuç alındı. 52 adenoid doku örneğinden sadece üç olguda(%5.8) PCR ile pozitif sonuç alındı. Hem pediatrik enfeksiyon ile obstrüksiyon grupları hem de pediatrik ve erişkin enfeksiyon grupları H.pylori varlığı açısından karşılaştırılmasında istatistiksel olarak farklılık tespit edilmedi. Sonuç: Çalışmamızda tonsil ve adenoid dokuda H.pylori kolonizasyonunun insidansının düşük olduğu belirlendi. H.pylori kolonizasyonu açısından pediatrik enfeksiyon ve obstrüksiyon grupları arasında anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmadı. Ayrıca pediatric ve yetişkin olgular arasında da farklılık bulunmadı.
