Abstract
These results demonstrate significant differences in the local lymphocyte response and bacterial community composition in tonsil tissue between RT and OSA patients. It suggests that the response to antibiotics used in the treatment of these two conditions may be different. Furthermore, the presence of lymphocytes in RT within the tonsil crypt outside the tonsil epithelium is a unique observation of the location of these cells.
