西德《世界报》1980年11月29日报道:热衷于摘除扁桃体的时代已经过去。今天,在作出这样的决定时,不再是无条件和无顾忌的了。这种态度的变化是由于对起积极免疫作用的器官——扁桃体有了更进一步的认识。扁桃体的位置及其特殊的组织结构,使它持续具有直接接触免疫的条件。它可以把对异物的免疫信号传递给机体的淋巴组织,在那里淋巴细胞逐步成熟,而当再次遇到抗原时,淋巴细胞能立即生成特殊的抗体。由于扁桃体从外界直接调节了免疫系统,所以它在幼儿身上起了帮助整个免疫系统成长和刺激产生抗体的作用,对直接防止感染却不那么重要。儿童型的扁桃体炎,即所谓多发性的扁桃 West Germany, “Le Monde” reported on November 29, 1980: Era of tonsils are keen to remove the time has passed. Today, in making such a decision, it is no longer unconditional and unscrupulous. The change in attitude is due to a better understanding of the organ that plays a positive role in immunity, the tonsils. The location of the tonsils and their special organizational structure allow it to continue to have conditions of direct contact with immunity. It delivers immune signals to foreign bodies to the body’s lymphoid tissue, where lymphocytes mature and, when they encounter the antigen again, the lymphocytes immediately produce a specific antibody. Because the tonsil directly regulates the immune system from the outside world, it plays an important role in helping the entire immune system to grow and stimulate the production of antibodies in young children, and it is less important to prevent infection directly.
