Generalized pustular psoriasis in siblings, 31-year-old male and 26-year-old female, is presented. In both cases, pustular lesions appeared in childhood and typical eruption of psoriasis vulgaris was not observed during their clinical course. Cholecystitis and chronic tonsillitis of the brother and periodontitis and chronic tonsillitis of the sister were considered to be possible provocative factors. HLA-A24, Bw52-, DR2, as the common HLA haplotype in our cases, was estimated.

Anaerobic streptococci were isolated from 100% of tonsil tissue samples obtained from 36 chronic tonsillitis patients. The strains displayed antigenic and other differences. Sera of chronic tonsillitis, paratonsillitis and periodontitis patients exhibited significantly more often, and in significantly higher titres, antibodies to the anaerobic streptococci isolated from tonsils than did sera of normal persons.

The objective of the present study was to estimate the possibility of using imudon for the treatment of chronic generalized periodontitis (CGP) in the patients presenting with various forms of chronic tonsillitis (CT) based on the results of the study of local immunity of the oropharynx. A total of 92 patients with CGP were divided into 3 groups as follows: those without pathology of palatine tonsils (PT) (group 1), cases with compensated chronic tonsillitis (group 2), and patients with periodontitis and concomitant decompensated form of CT (paratonsilitis). The results of assessment of local immunity (from the analysis of immunocytograms of the PT surface and periodontal pockets along with the data on the immunoglobulin content in mixed saliva samples and blood plasma) give evidence of the specific features of local immune responsiveness depending on the state of palatine tonsils. The changes of local immunity characteristics after the treatment suggest the efficacy of the traditional treatment of chronic generalized periodontitis in the absence of NT pathology and the necessity of its supplementation with imudon herapy in the patients with CGP and compensated form of CT.
