The peculiarities of chronic adenoiditis in 143 recurrently respiratory infected children with herpes viruses and intracellular pathogens were studied. A predisposing factor was the presence of an acute infection in the mother (13.3 %), or in family members (71.3 %) later. The prevalence of recurrent exudative otitis (52.4 %), confirmed by tympanometry, lymphadenitis of cervical group (58 %); hypertrophy of the pharyngeal tonsil III degree (57.3 %) with a predominance of purulent forms of acute exacerbation of chronic adenoiditis (73.4 %), caused by a mixed flora, was identified.
