ABSTRACT
Fifty-one patients undergoing elective tonsillectomy for recurrent acute tonsillitis, 21 by dissection tonsillectomy (41%), and 30 guillotine tonsillectomy (59%). Positive post-operative blood cultures were obtained in 22 patients (43%), but only 4 in the dissection group (19%) and in 18 of the guillotine group (60%). Streptococci (21.5%) and Staphylococci (9.8%) are the commonest organisms cultured. This data are suggestive for the necessity of an antibiotic prophylaxis before tonsillectomy.
