Fusobacterium necrophorum: Most Prevalent Pathogen in Peritonsillar Abscess in Denmark
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 10/29/09
Klug TE et al. – This study is the first report of FN being the most prevalent pathogen in PTA patients. The significantly higher neutrophil counts and C–reactive protein values strongly indicate the pathogenic importance of FN in PTA. The widespread reliance on rapid streptococcal antigen test in general practice to appoint patients for antibiotics and the highest PTA incidence ever reported raise concern that highly virulent bacteria may be left initially untreated.
