The practical significance of the problem of chronic tonsillitis in patients with congenital heart defects is determined by the fact that rational treatment of tonsillitis in such patients is the prevention of septic-rheumatic complications that can occur both before and after heart surgery. At the same time, only a few works are devoted to the study of chronic tonsillitis in patients with congenital heart defects. NA Vishnevskaya (1966, 1967), referring to our publications (1964, 1965), emphasizes the practical importance of this problem, but her research is devoted mainly to the peculiarities of tonsillectomy in such patients.
