In order to decide indication for tonsillectomy, results of the provocation test play an important role. The provocation tests were performed in 227 out of 309 tonsillectomee in our clinic during the last five years. Statistical evaluation of the test-result revealed the following results. (1) Indication for tonsillectomy was decided according to some factors such as habitual angina, results of the provocation test etc. The provocation test includes increase in leucocytes, elevation of body temperature and high titre of antistreptolysin O. (2) High titre of anti-streptolysin O does not always result in the increase of other provocation effects. Positive results of provocation examination were 59.5% in leucocytes, 26.5% in body temperature and 8.8% in blood precipitation rate. (3) Acute glomerulonephritis and purpura nephritis were improved after tonsillectomy. No improvement, however, was obtained in protracted nephritis. (4) Restoration of nephritis was not statistically significant so far as duration of the disease was concerned.
