Investigation of Helicobacter pylori in tonsillary tissue with Pronto Dry® test and pathologic examination

Positive Pronto Dry® test results and the results of iNOS staining showed that HP contributes to chronic tonsillitis, especially at the mucosal layer. Although HP does not colonize, it contributes to the chronic tonsillary inflammatory process as a triggering agent by affecting macrophages in the tonsil and thus increasing iNOS expression.
