Tonsillitis and Peritonsillar Abscess	2015-07-14		.txt	text/plain	5219	272	41	The routine use of tonsillectomy as a treatment option for recurrent tonsillitis and peritonsillar abscess has decreased over the last decade and clearer indications for surgery have emerged. Furthermore, with a few rare exceptions (e.g. Arcanobacterium haemolyticum , Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Fusobacterium spp.) anti-microbial treatment is not benefi cial for bacterial causes of tonsillitis except GABHS given that there is not a signifi cant reduction in the rate of complications or in duration of clinical symptoms [ 7 ] . The Infectious Disease Society of America (IDSA) recommends testing for GABHS unless a patient presents with symptoms strongly suggestive of a viral etiology; examples of such symptoms include cough, coryza, rhinorrhea, stomatitis or hoarseness. Children that do not meet these criteria but have multiple antibiotic allergies or intolerances or suffer from periodic fevers, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis and adenitis (PFAPA syndrome) or with a history of peritonsillar abscesses may also be considered candidates for tonsillectomy.	./cache/cord-018846-gmujrso2.txt	./txt/cord-018846-gmujrso2.txt
