Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to determine if peritonsillar abscess can develop after acute tonsillitis and whether specific biomarkers can differentiate between these conditions.
- It compared various biomarkers, including mean platelet volume (MPV), systemic immune inflammation index (SII), and plateletcrit (PCT), between patients with only acute tonsillitis and those with both acute tonsillitis and peritonsillar abscess.
- Results showed that MPV, SII, and PCT values significantly differed between the two groups, with SII having the highest sensitivity for identifying peritonsillar abscess.

Article Synopsis
- * A majority of responding otolaryngologists prefer inpatient treatment for PTA, primarily utilizing incision and drainage (I&D) over QT, which is rarely chosen as a first-line treatment.
- * Concerns about high perioperative risks contribute to the limited use of QT, with most physicians opting for I&D initially and considering QT mainly after multiple I&D failures.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdowns affected the treatment frequency of peritonsillar abscesses at a German ENT hospital from 2018 to 2022.
- Data were analyzed from 975 cases of abscess treatment, comparing results before and after the first German lockdown, revealing a decrease in incisional drainage procedures.
- Findings show an increase in abscess tonsillectomy cases since the lockdown, with a stable overall rate of peritonsillar abscesses and no significant impact from the Covid-19 policies on treatment outcomes.
