This study included 75 patients with chronic tonsillitis infected with S. pyogen and S. aureus diagnosed with the use selective and differential media and biochemical tests, and diagnostic methods have also been used as API 20 and VITEK2 compact system, from both sex and with different ageat Al-Haboubi Teaching Hospital in Al-Nasiriya city, IgE levels were evaluated by Cobas® and Leukotriene- B4 by three generation ELISA system.
