FEATURES OF THE INTESTINAL MICROFLORA IN CHILDREN OF TEENAGE AGE WITH CHRONIC TONSILLITIS AND SECONDARY CARDIOMYOPATHY

The objective is to study the features of the intestinal microflora in children of teenage age with chronic tonsillitis and secondary cardiomyopathy. The article describes the principal features of the microbiota of the colon in children between 13 and 18 years, patients with chronic tonsillitis and secondary cardiomyopathy. We have found that the microbiocaenosis intestinal disorders had certain qualitative and quantitative changes of its microflora, for example: reduction of bifidobacteria, lactobacilli and Escherichia coli with normal enzymatic activity; growth of fungi Candida; and a significant increase of staphylococci, streptococci and pathogenic microflora. These changes have happended during the acute disease period. At the same time, changes were more significant in the children with secondary cardiomyopathy with chronic tonsillitis and colon microbiota in contrast to the patients with chronic tonsillitis without cardiac pathology, which manifested as significantly smaller quantity of lactobacilli (p < 0.001) and greater quantity of fungi family Candida (p < 0.05)
