Overview
The epidemiology of adenoiditis is not completely known. There is research that indicates 15-30% of sore throats in children and 5-10% sore throats in adults are bacterial adenotonsillitis. Research on Norwegian twins indicates a prevalence of approximately 11,700 per 100,000 individuals, while a study on primary school children in Turkey indicated recurrent tonsillitis prevalence of approximately 12,100 per 100,000 individuals.
