Toll-Like Receptor 4 Gene ( TLR4 ), but Not TLR2 , Polymorphisms Modify the Risk of Tonsillar Disease Due to Streptococcus pyogenes and Haemophilus influenzae

16 Dec 2010

Abstract excerpt

Tonsillar disease (recurrent tonsillitis and/or tonsillar hypertrophy) is one of the most common human disorders, with Streptococcus pyogenes (group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus [GAS]) and Haemophilus influenzae representing the most common pathogens. Until now, no study has investigated why some individuals are more susceptible to tonsillar infections caused by specific bacteria than others. The aim of this...
