Tonsil removal linked to MS risk
A recent study has revealed that removing the tonsils and adenoids increases the risk of multiple sclerosis in children by 1.63 times and doubles the annual relapse rate of the disease. Researchers from the University of California conducted a study involving 359 children and adolescents with the condition and 560 without it. The results showed that the surgeries impact the regulation of the immune system, which may increase the likelihood of developing the disease. The study does not establish a direct causal relationship, but it indicates that the excised immune tissues could influence the disease's progression.
