Abstract
Chronic Tonsillitis is one of the most common chronic inammatory conditions occurring as a result of bacterial and environmental factors with
CD4+ cells predominance, which is also characteristically seen Rheumatoid Arthritis, although the exact pathogenesis remain unknown. Delayed
diagnosis and prompt treatment of Rheumatoid arthritis is a signicant factor leading to morbidity in elderly population. Aim:To nd association
between Rheumatoid Factor positivity in patients with Chronic Tonsillitis Materials and Methods:Atotal of 50 patients were selected who were
diagnosed with Chronic Tonsillitis after fullment of inclusion and exclusion criteria, in whom Rheumatoid Factor serology was evaluated and
studied. Results:Astatistically signicant Rheumatoid Factor positivity were obtained - 13 out of 50 patients (26%) with a p<0.001. No statistical
signicance was obtained when Rheumatoid Factor positivity and negativity was compared with age and gender distribution of the patients.
Conclusion: Early evaluation of Rheumatoid Factor helps ensure better outcome on patient's quality of life by early adequate and effective
treatment.
