(n.) One of the two glandular organs situated in the throat at the sides of the fauces. The tonsils are sometimes called the almonds, from their shape.
Example Sentences:
(1) There were hemorrhages in sclera, gums and left tonsillar area and a grayish exudate on right tonsil.
(2) The sites involved primarily were the nasal cavity, tonsil and pharynx and about one-fourth of the total cases showed extensive involvement of two anatomical sites at initial presentation.
(3) An abscess of a lingual tonsil should be drained under general anesthesia, and lingual thyroid should be treated conservatively unless it produces obstructive symptoms.
(4) Enlargement of the jugulodigastric node is most often associated with tonsillitis, and the spinal accessory group of nodes with adenoiditis.
(5) The first manifestation was often extranodular (9 patients tonsil, 8 parotid gland, 8 base of tongue, 7 nasopharynx).
(6) With monoclonal antibody AA1, immunostaining was entirely specific for mast cell granules, and there was negligible background staining in a range of tissues including lung, tonsil, colon, gastric mucosa, skin, and pituitary.
(7) Present results supplement and expand earlier data and support the practical value of analysis of short-term cultured tonsil lymphocytes.
(8) Next, tonsil cells were separated into two fractions relatively rich in either T or B cells.
(9) These infections include chronic otitis media, chronic sinusitis and mastoiditis, chronic recurrent tonsillitis and lung abscesses.
(10) The major cerebral lobes, diencephalon, brain stem, cerebellum, cerebellar tonsils, and spinal cord were studied.
(11) It was suggested that a positive provocation test is accompanied by an increase in fibrinolytic activity in the circulating blood of patients with focal infection of the tonsil, and the increase in fibrinolytic activity is closely related to the positiveness of the provocation test.
(12) Conversely, the tonsil core bacteria with the highest bacterial concentrations are more likely to be present on the tonsillar surface and the greater the bacterial concentration, the more likely the bacteria are to be found in most if not all areas of the tonsil core.
(13) Alkaline phosphatase activity was elevated in the lymphocytes from T-CLL, cord blood and tonsils and the blast cells from Null-ALL.
(14) Thus, IL-4 mRNA has markedly different kinetics and intensity of expression in spleen, peripheral blood, and tonsil.

(17) Despite the small number of subjects, the facial morphology of the CF children showed a similar pattern to that of children with nasal respiratory obstruction due to enlarged adenoids or tonsils.
(18) All of the lymphoid tissues investigated (bone marrow, thymus, lymph node, spleen, tonsil, adenoid) synthesize complement components in different patterns.
(19) The clinical efficacy and safety of cefixime (CFIX), a new oral cephalosporin, were compared with those of cefroxadine (CXD) in patients suffering from acute lacunar tonsillitis in a double blind study.
(20) The CD40 molecule was constitutively phosphorylated not only in human tonsil B cells but also in transfectants expressing CD40.
