| Abstract | ||
| Acute infection of the pharynx tonsil, has received a lot of attention and large number of papers dealing with different aspects of problem appear in literatures. A couple of tonsils swabs was taken from the following groups sixty five patients suffering from attack of acute tonsillitis , twenty tonsillectomized and thirty with normal tonsils (were subjected to the same study and served as control group) for aerobic and anaerobic inoculation study. The isolation rate of Streptococcus pyogenes was highest among acute tonsillitis (81.53 %) than among either the tonsillectomized patients (10 %) or those with normal tonsils (13.33 %) followed by Haemophilus influenzae was much higher among AT (60 %) than among and Staphylococcus aureus (44.6 %) which was higher in the patients with acute tonsillitis as compared with tonsillectomized patients (5 %) or control groups which was (3.33 %). Remarkably high tonsillar swabs isolation rates of group A Streptococci, Haemophilus influenzae and Staphylococcus aureus among patient with acute tonsillitis as compared with both normal tonsils and tonsillectomized the study conclude these three types of pathogens ply role in the acute tonsillitis infection in lower ratio of patients who underwent tonsillectomy. The aim of the study is to compare the type of different microorganisms between three groups (normal tonsil , tonsillectomized and acute tonsillitis | ||
