“…Cardoso et al (2012) demonstrated that also in our setting, and similarly to another study conducted in Brazil (6) , microbiological techniques are useful to determine the best conduct to take in a case of acute pharyngotonsillitis (5) . As already known, the treatment with antibiotics aims to prevent acute rheumatic fever and suppurative complications, such as peritonsillar abscess and cervical lymphadenitis, besides reducing the duration of disease and the period of transmission to people close to the patient (4) .…”
