A case report of a patient with tonsillitis and peritonsillar abscess, who subsequently developed fatal myocarditis, is presented. The clinical course and pathological findings are outlined. The rare association of tonsillitis and pharyngitis with non-rheumatic, non-diphtheritic, non-fatal myocarditis was recognized and reported in the pre and early antibiotic era. The present reported case is only the second recent description of fatal myocarditis associated with tonsillitis, and the first ever reported in the English Otolaryngologic literature.
本文报告了一例扁桃体炎和扁桃体周围脓肿患者，该患者随后发展为致命性心肌炎。文中概述了其临床病程和病理检查结果。在抗生素时代之前及早期，扁桃体炎和咽炎与非风湿性、非白喉性、非致命性心肌炎之间的罕见关联就已得到确认和报道。本报告的病例是近期关于扁桃体炎相关致命性心肌炎的第二篇描述，也是英文耳鼻喉科文献中首次报道的此类病例。
