[Argumentation for use of laser fluorescence spectrometry in identification of inflammatory diseases of pharynx].

OBJECTIVE: The article demonstrates the experience of using laser fluorescence spectrometry (LFS) in the diagnosis of inflammatory diseases of pharynx, describes a method for recording spectra of pharyngeal tissues using the EnSpectr L405 hardware-software complex operating on the basis of laser radiation with a wavelength of 405 nm, and identifies characteristic features of spectral curves.

PATIENTS AND METHODS: The authors presented the characteristics of the spectra from the surface of the pharynx tissue of healthy volunteers, patients with chronic tonsillitis and granular pharyngitis.

RESULTS: The most informative parameters of the spectral curves were calculated, analyzing which it is possible to identify the morphometric, metabolic, functional features of the tissue of the tonsils and posterior pharyngeal wall in normal and pathological conditions.

CONCLUSION: The article illustrates the importance of developing highly sensitive and highly specific methods for the rapid diagnosis of inflammatory diseases of the pharynx. The presented technology can be used in clinical practice in future.
