ABSTRACT
The skin window test was used to study the state of immunity in patients with Streptococcal pyogenes tonsillitis associated with rheumatic myocarditis and arthritis. It was found that deficiency of the cellular immune response can be considered as a contributing factor in the development of rheumatic arthritis or myocarditis. Application of this test in patients with chronic Streptococcal pyogenes tonsillitis can be used as a diagnostic tool for these complications
