Evidence that recurrent Group A streptococcus tonsillitis is an immunosusceptibility disease involving antibody deficiency and aberrant Tfh cells

2018-06-27

Abstract excerpt

<h4>One Sentence Summary</h4> Recurrent tonsillitis is a multifactorial disease associated with an aberrant tonsillar germinal center response to Group A Streptococcus. <h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Recurrent Group A Streptococcus (GAS) tonsillitis (RT) is a common indication for pediatric tonsillectomy. ‘Strep throat’ is highly prevalent among children; yet, it is unknown why some children develop RT. To gain insights into...
