The tonsill represents a natural barrier against various infectious pathogens. Around the tonsillar crypts, the tissues produce an area of mechanical defence barrier formed of granulation tissue, neoformation vascularization and leukocytes. In this region a series of complex immunological processes take place, the central role being occupied by immunoglobulin A. Tonsillar outbreak infection is a particular feature of immune response, generating numerous imunopathologic reactions.
