Abstract

In a prospective study of 117 patients scheduled for tonsillectomy, with or without adenoidectomy, immunoglobulin levels were measured preoperatively and 1 to 6 months after intervention. Small deficiencies in IgG levels were observed, but levels were within normal limits. We have attempted to clarify the controversial topic of the immunological disturbances that may appear after this common intervention.
