It is considered a purulent complication of acute tonsillitis, but other mechanisms have been proposed. There is no consensus as to whether seasonality affects peritonsillar abscess incidence.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0022215117000895_sec_a2\"><jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title><jats:p>This observational, descriptive, retrospective study explored the epidemiology of peritonsillar abscess and its relationship with seasonality. The cases were selected from the emergency otolaryngology service of a tertiary hospital.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0022215117000895_sec_a3\"><jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title><jats:p>The sample comprised 528 patients (42.61 per cent males, mean age = 26.63 years). A moderate positive correlation was found between peritonsillar abscess incidence and monthly average temperature. No associations were found with insolation, precipitation or humidity.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0022215117000895_sec_a4\"><jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title><jats:p>In this sample, peritonsillar abscess was more likely to occur in warmer months. The findings corroborate the theory that peritonsillar abscess is not a direct complication of acute tonsillitis and may improve understanding of peritonsillar abscess aetiology.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0022215117000895","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,5,2]],"date-time":"2017-05-02T05:21:47Z","timestamp":1493702507000},"page":"627-630","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Peritonsillar abscess: epidemiology and relationship with climate variations"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"131","author":[{"given":"G S M","family":"Freire","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J H Z","family":"dos Santos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"P A","family":"Rol\u00f3n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"G B","family":"Pinheiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A L L","family":"Sampaio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,5,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0022215117000895_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amjoto.2008.12.003"},{"key":"S0022215117000895_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10096-014-2052-8"},{"key":"S0022215117000895_ref10","unstructured":"Instituto Nacional de Meteorologia.
