ABSTRACT
Background: chronic adenotonsillitis in childhood is a very frequent disease in Cuba, and it occupies the third place in the surgical morbidity in the specialty of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology.
Objective: to describe the clinicalepidemiological behavior of chronic adenotonsillitis in childhood.
Methods: a descriptive, prospective and crosssectional study was conducted with a nonprobabilistic sampling to 191 children with chronic adenotonsillitis in a universe of 1 050 children with otorhinolaryngological diseases treated in the Pediatric Hospital of Centro Habana, Cuba, from September 2009 to July 2011. Data processing was carried out using statistic tools such as: mean age, percentage relative risk and frequency tables by means of Excel software.
Results: the biggest morbidity was in males from two to four years. The disease was characterized by episodes of recurrent tonsillitis with nasal obstruction and rhinitis. The most frequent modifiable risk factors were: absence or early suspension of maternal nursing, involuntary exposure to smoke cigar and the attendance to kindergarten. The most common personal and family antecedents were: respiratory allergy or bronchial asthma.
Conclusions: this disease has a multifactorial origin, and it decreases its morbidity from the six years.
