Overview
Adenoiditis is commonly seen in children. Adenoiditis commonly affects individuals younger than 15 years of age.
Epidemiology and demographics
- Adenoiditis occurs mostly in children.
- Adenoid tissue go through atrophy process after 10 so adeoiditis is rarely seen after 15.
- As a result of close location adenoiditis is often associated with acute tonsillitis.
- Adenoiditis can be seen in adults too. However due to improvement in diagnosis, it is usually treated or removed during childhood.
- Acute tonsillitis from S. pyogenes primarily affects children between 5 and 15 years old.[1]
- There is no racial predisposition to adenoiditis.
- AH was more common in patients with allergy sensitization, in particular in patients aged 8-14 years.[2]
