AB  - Peritonsillar  abscess  (PTA),  or  quinsy,  is  the  most  common  deep  head  and  neck  infection.  Although  most  occur  in  young  adults,  immunocompromised  and  diabetic  patients  are  at  increased  risk.  Most  PTAs  develop  as  a  complication  of  tonsillitis  or  pharyngitis,  but  may  also  result  from  odontogenic  spread,  recent  dental  procedures,  and  local  mucosal  trauma.
