    Uploaded by

    Rendy Candra
    Tonsillitis can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi. Common bacterial causes include streptococcus and pneumococcus. Viruses such as adenovirus and influenza can also cause tonsillitis. Left untreated, bacterial tonsillitis may lead to complications like scarlet fever, rheumatic fever, or glomerulonephritis. Symptoms of acute tonsillitis include fever, sore throat, and malaise. Signs include redness and swelling of the tonsils. Treatment involves rest, pain relief medication, and antibiotics if caused by bacteria like streptococcus.

    – Beta-hemolytic streptocococuss
    – Pneumococcus
    – Stahylococcus
    – Treponema Pallidum
    – Neisseria gonorrhea
    – Haemophilus influenza
    • Viral
    – Adeno virus
    – Rhino virus
    – Respiratory synctial virus
    – Influenza virus
    – Epstein-Barr virus
    • Fungal
    – Candida albicans
    Pathogenesis of tonsillitis
    • Bacteria/Microorganism infiltrates epithellium
    of tonsilla palatina>trigger local immunity
    mechanism>result in purulent material
    accumulation (detritus)>fill tonsillar
    crypt>seen as yellowish spot
    Complication of tonsillitis
    • Untreated GABHS infection, which is the most
    common bacterial agent in Tonsillitis, may
    cause the following condition
    – Scarlet fever
    – Rheumatic fever
    – Glomerulonephritis
    – Peritonsillar abscess
    Predisposing factor
    • Bad oral hygiene
    • Immunocompromise
    • Smoking
    • Weather/climate
    • Fatigue
    Chronic tonsillitis
    SIGN AND SYMPTOMS
    • Symptoms
    – Odinophagia
    – Sore throat
    – Snoring
    – Breathing difficulty
    – Fever
    – Halitosis
    • Signs
    – Tonsills enlargement
    – Enlargement of the crypts
    – Crypts usually contains Detritus
    – Peritonsillar erythema
    – Smooth glistening
    Tonsill grading
    Treatment
    • Treatment for chronictonsillitis are either
    conservative or tonsillectomy
    Acute Tonsillitis
    Sign and symptoms
    • Symptoms
    – Fever
    – Malaise
    – Headache
    – Sore throat
    • Sign
    – Limited redness of tonsill
    – Swelling of tonsill
    Treatment
    • Bed rest with sufficient fluid intake
    • Analgetics (paracetamol or ibuprofen) to
    relieve pain and fever
    • Antibiotics such as penicillin or Eryhthromycin
    – For GABHS first line of treatment is Penicillin V
    – For patients with penicillin alergies, Azithromycin
    can be use instead
    SUPPORTING EXAMINATION
    • Laboratory blood exam > increase in
    leukocyte, Hematocrit, and C- reactive protein
    (CRP)
    • ASTO (Anti Streptolysin O) test > to distinguish
    GABHS
    • Bacterial cultures from pharyngeal swab >
    gold standard
