Importance of biomarkers in streptococcal acute tonsillitis & peritonsillar abscess.

ABSTRACT: Background & objectives Acute tonsillitis is a disease that can often be cured with medical treatment. However, complications may occur during this disease process. One of these complications is peritonsillar abscess. In recent years, biomarkers have been frequently used in the diagnosis of diseases. The aim of the study was to reveal whether peritonsillar abscess develops after acute tonsillitis, and acute tonsillitis can be differentiated using biomarkers and which biomarker has higher predictive value for this differentiation. Methods The control group consisted of individuals who were operated for septoplasty in the otolaryngology clinic, and the acute tonsillitis group consisted of individuals diagnosed with acute tonsillitis in the same clinic. Both groups were statistically compared
