-'''Adenoiditis''' is the [[inflammation]] of the [[adenoid]] tissue, usually caused by an [[infection]]. Adenoiditis is treated using [[medication]] ([[antibiotics]] and/or [[steroids]]) or [[surgical]] intervention.
-Adenoiditis may present with [[common cold|cold like symptoms]]. However, adenoiditis symptoms often persist for ten or more days, and often include [[pus]] like discharge from nose.
+==[[Adenoiditis overview|Overview]]==
-The infection cause is usually [[viral infection|viral]]. However, if the adenoiditis is caused by a [[bacterial infection]], antibiotics may be prescribed for treatment. A steroidal [[nasal spray]] may also be prescribed in order to reduce [[nasal congestion]]. Severe or recurring adenoiditis may require surgical removal of the adenoids ([[adenotonsillectomy]]).
+==[[Adenoiditis historical perspective|Historical Perspective]]==
-==History and Symptoms==
+==[[Adenoiditis classification|Classification]]==
-===Symptoms===
+==[[Adenoiditis pathophysiology|Pathophysiology]]==
-Acute adenoiditis is characterized by [[fever]], runny nose, nasal airway obstruction resulting in predominantly oral breathing, snoring and sleep apnea, rhinorrhea with serous secretion in viral forms and mucous-purulent secretion in bacterial forms. In cases due to viral infection symptoms usually recede spontaneously after 48 hours, symptoms of bacterial adenoiditis typically persist up to a week. Adenoiditis is sometimes accompanied by [[tonsillitis]]. Repeated adenoiditis may lead to enlarged adenoids.
-==Natural History, Complications and Prognosis==
+==[[Adenoiditis causes|Causes]]==
-===Complications===
-Complications of acute adenoiditis can occur due to extension of inflammation to the neighboring organs.
-==Causes==
+==[[Adenoiditis differential diagnosis|Differentiating adenoiditis from other diseases]]==
-Viruses that may cause adenoiditis include [[adenovirus]], [[rhinovirus]] and [[paramyxovirus]].
+==[[Adenoiditis epidemiology and demographics|Epidemiology and Demographics]]==
+==[[Adenoiditis risk factors|Risk Factors]]==
-Bacterial causes include [[Streptococcus pyogenes]], [[Streptococcus pneumoniae]], [[Moraxella catarrhalis]] and various species of [[Staphylococcus]] including [[Staphylococcus aureus]].
+==[[Natural history, complications and prognosis template|Natural history, complications and prognosis]]==
-==Other Imaging Findings==
+==Diagnosis==
-[[Optical fiber endoscopy]] can confirm the diagnosis of adenoiditis in cases of doubt by directly visualizing the inflamed [[adenoid]].

-===Pharmacotherapy===
+==Case Studies==
-In cases of viral adenoiditis, treatment with [[analgesic]]s or [[antipyretic]]s is often sufficient. Bacterial adenoiditis may be treated with [[antibiotic]]s, such as [[amoxicillin - clavulanic acid]] or a [[cephalosporin]]. In case of adenoid hypertrophy, [[adenoidectomy]] may be performed to remove the adenoid.
-==Epidemiology and Demographics==
+[[es:Adenoiditis]]
-===Age===
-Adenoiditis occurs mainly in childhood, often associated with acute tonsillitis. Incidence decreases with age, with adenoiditis being rare in children over 15 years due to physiological atrophy of the adenoid tissue.
