Peritonsillar abscess (quinsy) diagnosis is primarily clinical. Prompt needle aspiration or drainage, combined with antibiotics, leads to favorable outcomes within days, with some patients later undergoing tonsillectomy.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Surgical Pathology

Context:

  • Peritonsillar abscess (quinsy) is a common complication of tonsillitis.
  • Understanding diagnostic and therapeutic patterns is crucial for effective management.
  • This study analyzes 98 cases over a decade in an ENT department.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the diagnostic circumstances, contributing factors, bacteriology, and treatment of peritonsillar abscesses.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of various therapeutic interventions.
  • To identify factors influencing patient outcomes and recurrence.

Summary:

  • Diagnosis of peritonsillar abscess is predominantly clinical (98%).
  • Most cases (90%) complicated angina; 49% had no prior antibiotics.

  • Treatment involved needle aspiration (65%) or surgical drainage (35%), with a 2-day average hospital stay and complete cure in 10 days.

    • Impact:

    • Effective management, including aspiration or drainage and antibiotics, leads to rapid recovery.
    • Later tonsillectomy is considered for recurrent cases.
    • This data aids in optimizing peritonsillar abscess treatment protocols.
