Hypertrophy of the pharyngeal tonsil (HPT) is considered one of the most common diseases of the ENT organs. The main purpose of this study was to study the polymorphism of the IL-10 (interleukin 10) gene and infections caused by human herpesviruses 6 (HHV6), cytomegalovirus (CMV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in children with HPT.
The study included 106 children with hypertrophy of the pharyngeal tonsil and 38 healthy children aged 2 to 11 years. All children with pharyngeal amygdala hypertrophy were divided into three subgroups depending on the size of the pharyngeal amygdala. Viruses were determined by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in real time using commercially available kits (QIAGEN, Germany). Patients with HPT were more likely to have HHV6 compared with CMV and EBV.
Among the three subgroups of children with HPT, HHV6 and EBV infections prevailed in children with the maximum degree of hypertrophy of the pharyngeal tonsil. The frequency of the GG genotype was higher in the control group of children. Significantly higher frequencies of the G allele and GG and GA genotypes for IL-10 rs1800896 were found in the subgroup of children with the smallest pharyngeal tonsil size compared to other subgroups. We suggested that infection with HHV6 and EBV may contribute to an increase in the size of the pharyngeal tonsil.
The IL-10 rs1800896 GG genotype may contribute to resistance to hypertrophy of the pharyngeal tonsil.
