Tonsillectomy Does Not Decrease the Risk of Helicobacter pylori Transmission


This study has shown that tonsillectomy has no protective effect on H. pylori transmission. There may be 2 reasons for this. First, after bacteria reach into the oral cavity, it directly transmits to the stomach without colonization on the tonsillar tissue.
On the other hand, H. pylori may be colonizing upper respiratory tract mucosal tissues other than the tonsils and subsequently causing gastric infection.
