Chronic bacterial tonsillitis can be validly supported etiologically by quantitative bacteriologic methods. The following observations are based on a recognition that the mere presence of bacteria is much less significant than the level of bacteria present. The chronically infected adult patient may be characterized by tonsils subclinically harboring greater than 10(5) bacteria/gm as opposed to the control patient with 10(3) bacteria/gm. Useful features in predicting high bacterial levels are (1) low number of crypts, (2) presence of nodal hypertrophy, and (3) tonsils small by actual size. Estimated tonsil size, determined preoperatively, shows no statistically significant correlation with either actual size or degree of tonsil sepsis.
