Post-tonsillectomy Changes in the Level of Serum Globulin

Abstract

In 25 patients who underwent tonsillectomy or tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy serum globulin levels were measured within 20 hours pior to and after operations for comparison. In most of the cases no significant pre-and post-operative changes were noted, while the changes appeared greater in children who underwent tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy than in the adults who underwent tonsillectomy only.
