“…Erythromycin resistance rates as high as 24% have been seen in Finland. 21 Over the last ten years, antibiotic resistance has drastically grown. There have been many theories put up to explain why antibiotics have failed to cure tonsillitis, but we postulated that non-compliance may be the root cause of treatment failure.…”

Introduction: Tonsillitis is the most common infectious condition after viral nose and throat infections. Millions of new infections every year are recorded globally. Young people under the age of 15 are disproportionately affected by acute tonsillitis. This study aimed to isolate the bacteria causing tonsilitis in children. Methods: One hundred thirty throat swabs were taken from a variety of individuals who were clinically determined to have tonsillitis with purulent discharges at the ENT clinic at Kuthospital. Isolates were tested for their gram stain response and biochemical features after being promptly transported to the laboratory and streaked directly on blood agar, which was incubated aerobically for 24 hours at 37°C. The following antibiotics were tested on all isolates using the disc diffusion technique: penicillin (10 units), gentamicin (10 mcg), vancomycin (30 mcg), erythromycin (15 mcg), ciprofloxacin (10 mcg), cephalothin (30 mcg), and chloramphenicol (30 mcg). Isolates were classified as sensitive or resistant based on the widths of zones of inhibition. Results: Thirty-four strains of Streptococci, 14 strains of Staphylococcus epidermidis, 32 strains of Staphylococcus aureus, 15 strains of another Staphylococcus spp., and 9 strains of Haemophilus parainfluenzae were detected. The current results showed that most isolates were sensitive to ciprofloxacin, chloramphenicol, and vancomycin, while most isolates showed resistance to penicillin and gentamycin. Conclusion: Streptococci and S. aureus showed to be the most common bacterial causes of tonsilitis in children who were sensitive to ciprofloxacin, chloramphenicol, and vancomycin.

Upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs) represent the most common acute illnesses in the general population and account for the leading acute diagnoses in the outpatient setting. Given the athlete's expectation to return to activity as soon as possible, the sports medicine physician should be able to accurately diagnose and aggressively treat these illnesses. This article discusses the common pathogens, diagnosis, treatment options, and return-to-play decisions for URTIs, with a focus on the common cold, sinusitis, pharyngitis, and infectious mononucleosis in the athlete.
