A peritonsillar abscess (PTA) is an infection that primarily affects the peritonsillar space. The incidence is estimated to affect 30 per 100,000 individuals annually, with a higher prevalence between the 15- and 30-year-old age groups. The pathogenesis of a PTA is a crucial step in effective management and prevention. Typically, a PTA has a polymicrobial etiology, aerobic, and anaerobic bacteria of oral flora. Multiple papers in the literature have studied the incidence of species in PTA cases. However, few studies have isolated in a PTA. We present a case of a 29-year-old patient who was admitted as a case of a PTA. He underwent an incision and drainage of the right PTA in the operation room. A significant amount of purulent fluid was drained with a positive culture of .
扁桃体周围脓肿（PTA）是一种主要影响扁桃体周围间隙的感染。据估计，其发病率为每年每10万人中有30例，在15至30岁年龄组中患病率更高。PTA的发病机制是有效管理和预防的关键步骤。通常，PTA具有多种微生物病因，包括口腔菌群中的需氧菌和厌氧菌。文献中有多篇论文研究了PTA病例中菌种的发生率。然而，很少有研究在PTA中分离出（此处原文缺失具体菌种信息）。我们报告一例29岁患者，因PTA入院。他在手术室接受了右侧PTA切开引流术。引流排出大量脓性液体，培养结果为（此处原文缺失具体培养结果信息）阳性。
