RESUMEN
This study was carried out on 50 patients suffering from chronic tonsillitis of different age groups. Prostagl and in E2 and 6-ketoprostagl and in F1 were estimated in the tissue of tonsils by radioimmunoassay methods. It was concluded that the young age groups [4 - 7 years] had higher levels of prostagl and in E2 and 6-ketoprostagl and in F1. The young age groups [4 - 7 years and 8 - 12 years] had higher levels of prostagl and in E2 more than 6-ketoprostagl and in F1, the older age group [13 - 18 years] had higher levels of 6-ketoprostagl and in F1 than prostagl and in E2. The levels of prostagl and in E2 were higher than the levels of 6-ketoprostagl and in F1 in the tissues of tonsils; while in plasma 6-ketoprostagl and in, F1 was higher than prostagl and in E2. Prostagl and in E2 was secreted from lymphocytes of tonsils
