Serum immunoglobulin E levels in relation to adenoid surgery.
The adenoid tissue is an immunecompetent lymphoid organ, which has the capacity of reacting against numerous antigens. We have studied the influence that the elimination of the said tissue would have on the total IgE serum levels in 33 patients of an average age of 5 and criteria of adenoidectomy and in whom these levels were measured before and after surgery. We have not noticed any statistically significant differences in the IgE values after adenoidectomy with respect to those prior to surgery, which were normal. Adenoidectomy, like other authors have observed after tonsillectomy, does not alter the IgE serum values.
