Twenty-four of 86 patients treated by needle aspiration underwent a single aspiration, and 38 had 2, 19 had 3, and 5 had 4 aspirations before the abscess resolved. A significant amount of pus, up to 8, 5, and 3 mL, respectively, was detected in the subsequent aspirations. Recurrent PTA was noted in 20 patients (23.26%). In 9 of these patients (10.47%) the recurrent episode occurred immediately (in less than 1 month) and was considered residual disease. Seventy-four patients were treated by incision and drainage, and none had an immediate recurrence. Only 3 (4.05%) patients developed a late recurrent episode. The difference in the recurrence rate between the two groups is statistically significant. A history of recurrent tonsillitis prior to abscess formation did not show a significant influence on the recurrence rate. A high incidence of streptococcal infections was noted in both groups, with anaerobes detected in only 15% of samples. There was a good response to penicillin-resistant organisms. Although needle aspiration is a tempting modality for treating PTA in community clinics, one should be aware of the risks of a higher incidence of residual and recurrent disease in comparison to incision and drainage, as well as the need for repeated aspirations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/000348949410300709","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,10,3]],"date-time":"2014-10-03T14:38:05Z","timestamp":1412347085000},"page":"554-557","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":60,"title":["Peritonsillar Abscess: Repeated Needle Aspiration versus Incision and Drainage"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"103","author":[{"given":"Michael","family":"Wolf","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Tel-Hashomer, Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Iris","family":"Even-Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tel-Hashomer, Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jona","family":"Kronenberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tel-Hashomer, Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1994,7,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-000348949410300709","first-page":"417","volume":"77","author":"Lee K-J","year":"1973","journal-title":"Trans Am Acad Ophthalmol Otolaryngol"},{"key":"bibr2-000348949410300709","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"801","DOI":"10.1017\/S0022215100091441","volume":"95","author":"Moesgaard Nielsen V","year":"1981","journal-title":"J Laryngol Otol"},{"key":"bibr3-000348949410300709","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0022215100072054"},{"key":"bibr4-000348949410300709","first-page":"422","volume":"77","author":"Doyle PJ","year":"1973","journal-title":"Trans Am Acad Ophthalmol Otolaryngol"},{"key":"bibr5-000348949410300709","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archotol.1981.00790410021004"},{"key":"bibr6-000348949410300709","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0165-5876(98)90034-9"},{"key":"bibr7-000348949410300709","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0196-0709(87)80028-5"},{"key":"bibr8-000348949410300709","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/019459988108900606"},{"key":"bibr9-000348949410300709","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/lary.1982.92.6.657"},{"key":"bibr10-000348949410300709","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0022215100117189"},{"key":"bibr11-000348949410300709","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archotol.1988.01860150078019"},{"key":"bibr12-000348949410300709","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/019459988108900605"},{"key":"bibr13-000348949410300709","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0022215100116585"},{"key":"bibr14-000348949410300709","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/inf.1976.8.issue-3.06"},{"key":"bibr15-000348949410300709","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1651-2227.1981.tb06235.x"},{"key":"bibr16-000348949410300709","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"289","DOI":"10.1288\/00005537-199103000-00012","volume":"101","author":"Brook I","year":"1991","journal-title":"Laryngoscope"},{"key":"bibr17-000348949410300709","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/000992288402300608"},{"key":"bibr18-000348949410300709","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/00016488709134711"},{"key":"bibr19-000348949410300709","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archotol.1988.01860180075034"},{"key":"bibr20-000348949410300709","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archotol.1987.01860090082025"}],"container-title":["Annals of Otology, Rhinology &amp; Laryngology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/000348949410300709","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/000348949410300709","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,28]],"date-time":"2026-04-28T11:13:55Z","timestamp":1777374835000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/000348949410300709"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[1994,7]]},"references-count":20,"journal-issue":{"issue":"7","published-print":{"date-parts":[[1994,7]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/000348949410300709"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/000348949410300709","relation":{},"ISSN":["0003-4894","1943-572X"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0003-4894","type":"print"},{"value":"1943-572X","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[1994,7]]}}}
