The effect of tonsillectomy ib palmoplantar pustulosis which seemed to be caused by β-hemolytic streptococcus was invetigated, and the following results were obtained. 1) Tonsillectomy was performed in 13 cases of palmoplantar pustulosis. Six months after operation, 7 (54%) of 13 cases were cured or almost cured, and efficacy rate was 92% including the improved cases. 2) The titers of ASO, Blue ASO, and anti-streptozyme decreased in comparison with those before operation, and dermal symptoms were improved proportionally to the antibody titers, especially to those against Streptokinase-Streptodornase (SK-SD). 3) It is preferable to determine surgical indication for tonsillectomy by the antibody titer against SK-SD. Additional otorhinolaryngological examinations and diagnosis for infectious lesions will increase the reliability.
