It seems evident that an environment contaminated by <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Y. enterocolitica</span> predisposes the tonsils towards its incubation. These environments are relatively rare and are restricted to stocks of pigs. An anamnesis directed in this regard and the finding of unusual tonsillitis−inflammatory asymmetries, unilateral tonsillitis, abscesses−with torpid response to conventional antibiotic therapy, should lead diagnostic suspicion towards this agent.</p><p id="par0150" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Serological diagnosis is difficult due to the variability of serotypes, but enterobacteria are easy to isolate in simple culture media, such as MacConkey or peptone water with 5% salt, unless an antibiotic protocol has been previously initiated. This is common and delays filiation of the case. Capacity for serum autoagglutination at 37<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>°C and for Congo red stain uptake of infected histological samples should guide the process. However, the limitation in bacterial isolates and the fact that antibiotic sensitivity requires unusual chemotherapeutic agents, such as aminoglycosides or chloramphenicol, make tonsillectomy advisable in the previously discussed epidemiological circumstances.</p></span><span id="sec0025" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle">Conflict of Interests</span><p id="par0155" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The authors have no conflicts of interest to declare.</p></span></span>" "textoCompletoSecciones" => array:1 [ "secciones" => array:10 [ 0 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "xres94824" "titulo" => "Abstract" ] 1 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "xpalclavsec81977" "titulo" => "Keywords" ] 2 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "xres94825" "titulo" => "Resumen" ] 3 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "xpalclavsec81976" "titulo" => "Palabras clave" ] 4 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0005" "titulo" => "Introduction" ] 5 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0010" "titulo" => "Patients" ] 6 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0015" "titulo" => "Results" ] 7 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0020" "titulo" => "Discussion" ] 8 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0025" "titulo" => "Conflict of Interests" ] 9 => array:1 [ "titulo" => "References" ] ] ] "pdfFichero" => "main.pdf" "tienePdf" => true "fechaRecibido" => "2010-10-14" "fechaAceptado" => "2011-01-30" "PalabrasClave" => array:2 [ "en" => array:1 [ 0 => array:4 [ "clase" => "keyword" "titulo" => "Keywords" "identificador" => "xpalclavsec81977" "palabras" => array:3 [ 0 => "Tonsillitis" 1 => "<span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Yersinia</span>" 2 => "Infection" ] ] ] "es" => array:1 [ 0 => array:4 [ "clase" => "keyword" "titulo" => "Palabras clave" "identificador" => "xpalclavsec81976" "palabras" => array:3 [ 0 => "Amigdalitis" 1 => "<span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Yersinia</span>" 2 => "Infección" ] ] ] ] "tieneResumen" => true "resumen" => array:2 [ "en" => array:2 [ "titulo" => "Abstract" "resumen" => "<p id="spar0005" class="elsevierStyleSimplePara elsevierViewall">We present five cases of tonsillitis secondary to <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Yersinia enterocolitica</span>.
