“…IgM antibodies are produced during the acute phase of infectious diseases and their serum levels decrease 1-3 months after infection but IgG antibodies represent in the chronic infections and their levels are also increased in recurrent infections 10 . Ashmawy et al (1980) 4 in Egypt reported that among patient with chronic tonsillitis, before tonsillectomy the level of IgG and IgA in serum were significantly increased compared to control group, while the IgM level were not changed significantly and two months after tonsillectomy, these increased level of IgG and IgA were significantly reduced than preoperative value but postoperative level value did not differ significantly with control group.…”

“…Tonsillar plasma cells produce all five immunoglobulin classes but predominantly IgG and IgA 3 . Since the humoral role of the immune function of the tonsil is its most important one, the immunological function of the tonsil can be assessed by serum immuno-globulin estimations in patients with chronic tonsillitis and in their follow-up after tonsillectomy 4 .…”

“…Similarly, an increase in serum immunoglobulin levels has been observed in patients with chronic adenotonsillitis in previous studies. 7,9,14,17 On the contrary, no significant variation in serum IgG, IgA and IgM levels before and after tonsillectomy has been noted by some authors. 5 IgM antibodies are produced in acute phase of infectious diseases and their levels decrease in 1-3 months after acute infection.…”

“…Observations of this study concur with observations in previous studies. 1,3,[7][8][9][16][17][18] In most previous studies, levels of immunoglobulins were increased before adenotonsillectomy and decreased after surgery. This was due to removal of infected tissue and continuous antigenic stimulation.…”
