FIELD: medicine; paediatrics.
SUBSTANCE: peripheral blood slides are analysed for intensity of neurophillic and monocytic autorosetting through light microscopy. Increased amount of monocytic rosettes to within 4.7±1.3% and neurophillic - to within 9.4±2.0% indicates pharyngeal tonsil hypertrophy. In case of reduced amount of monocytic rosettes to within 3.1±0.1% and neurophillic - to within 3.1±0.1%, chronic adenoid is diagnosed.
EFFECT: method application enables to perform differential diagnostics of pharyngeal tonsil hypertrophy and chronic adenoid.
