2. What is Tonsillitis


Tonsillitis is an infection of the tonsils and
will often, but not necessarily, cause a
sore throat and fever.
There are 3 main types of tonsillitis: acute,
subacute and chronic. Acute tonsillitis can
either be bacterial or viral in origin.
Subacute tonsillitis is caused by the
bacterium Actinomyces. Chronic tonsillitis,
which can last for long periods if not
treated, is mostly caused by bacterial
infection.

3. Symptoms

Symptoms of tonsillitis include a severe
sore throat (which may be experienced as
referred pain to the ears), painful/difficult
swallowing, coughing, headache, fever and
chills. Tonsillitis is characterized by signs of
red, swollen tonsils which may have a
purulent exudative coating of white patches
(i.e. pus). There may be enlarged and
tender neck cervical lymph nodes.

4. Causes


Tonsillitis may be caused by Group A
streptococcal bacteria, resulting in strep
throat.[1] Viral tonsillitis may be caused by
numerous viruses such as the Epstein-Barr
virus[1] (the cause of infectious
mononucleosis) or adenovirus.
Sometimes, tonsillitis is caused by a
superinfection of spirochaeta and
treponema, in this case called Vincent’s
angina or Plaut-Vincent angina.

5. Causes

Although tonsillitis is associated with
infection, it is currently unknown whether
the swelling and other symptoms are
caused by the infectious agents
themselves, or by the host immune
response to these agents. Tonsillitis may
be a result of aberrant immune responses
to the normal bacterial flora of the
nasopharynx.
