Abstract
For a long period, Streptococci has been recognized as Streptococcus sp. associated with acute pharyngitis. S. pyogenes infection has been detected in the Hospital and Health Center in Tikrit city. Throat swabs sample has obtained and cultured on a sheep blood agar plate. Identification of S. pyogenes was performed by using the VITEK 2 automatic system. It detected of 50 samples from children included 25 were positive for S. pyogenes infection. were aged 10-35 years old and included 30 males and 20 females. While 25 samples were Negative of S. pyogenes infection (The control group included 25 clinically healthy children without S. pyogenes infection matched for age and sex with cases patients). No significant differences were reported between tonsillitis patients and healthy control in terms of Complement 4 proteins (33.21 ±14.18726, 35.57±15.56254), C3 (268.5±14.34, 146.06±17.83) although increased complement level in the patient group. The present study revealed no significant decrease in levels of C4 of tonsillitis patients with negative ASOT than those with positive. the disease duration and ASOT have a significant effect on CRP and complement components serum levels in patients with tonsillitis.
