Summary

We aimed to find out whether the tonsils and nasal tissues of pediatric patients are the main factors that protects the children's immune system against COVID-19 infection.

Detailed description

Since it is known that the tonsil and adenoid tissues that are known as a secondary lymphoid organ, which form the first line of defense, are more active in childhood than adults, especially in the childhood age group, and since it has been scientifically shown that patients diagnosed with COVID-19 infection in the pediatric age group overcome this disease lightly than adults, we aimed to reveal whether the defined tonsil and adenoid tissues are the main factors that protect the children's immune system against COVID-19 infection.
