Pallon J, et al. - In a cohort of patients with pharyngotonsillitis and non-infected controls, researchers investigate the patterns of new visits for a sore throat, complications and tonsillectomy during 2 years. This study confirms that in pharyngotonsillitis, group A Streptococci still is to be considered the most important pathogen, associated with a higher number of new visits within 30 days, and that F. necrophorum did not distinguish itself as a major cause of recurrent infection or complications.
