Overview
Tonsillitis can be classified into acute, and recurrent forms. Acute tonsillitis is primarily caused by viral or bacterial infection; the former of which is usually self-limited. Bacterial acute tonsillitis will usually resolve with antimicrobial therapy. Recurrent tonsillitis is primarily caused by bacterial infection - usually group A streptococcus. Systemic symptoms, including fever, are usually absent due to their association with viral acute manifestations of tonsillitis. Tonsillectomy may be indicated for patients with recurrent tonsillitis if antimicrobial therapy is ineffective.
Classification
Tonsillitis can be classified into[1][2]
- acute can be Bacterial or viral
- Subacute mostly caused by a bacteria Actinomyces
- chronic is always bacterial
- Recurrent
Acute Tonsillitis
- Primarily caused by bacterial or viral infection.[1]
- Presents with tonsillar erythema, edema, odynophagia, dysphonia, fever, rhinorrea, cough and headache.[3][4]
- Tonsillectomy is not usually indicated to treat acute tonsillitis; viral tonsillitis is self-limited and bacterial tonsillitis will resolve with antimicrobial therapy.[4]
Recurrent Tonsillitis
- Tonsillitis that is recurrent is primarily caused by bacterial infection - usually group A streptococcus.[4]
- Presents primarily with tonsillar erythema and edema, along with odynophagia, dysphonia, dyspnea, and dysphagia.
- Tonsillectomy is indicated for patients with recurrent tonsillitis if the following criteria are met:[5]
- 7 episodes of tonsillitis in a single year OR
- 5 episodes in each of 2 consecutive years OR
- 3 episodes in each of 3 consecutive years
Chronic Tonsillitis
Persistence of the infection for a duration over 3 months is known as chronic tonsillitis. The viruses usually stay and lead to chronic inflammation or it results from repeated allergies or GERD.[6][7][8]
