[Changes in platelet function in children with acute or chronic tonsillitis].

Children with a compensated or uncompensated form of acute or chronic tonsillitis demonstrate high platelet aggregation resultant in faster formation of platelet aggregates, an increased maximum size of these aggregates, faster achievement of the maximum platelet aggregation. Local drug therapy, combined drug + ultrasound and laser therapy failed to normalize platelet aggregation. The best effect on platelet aggregation was obtained in combined treatment with ultrasound and laser.
