The visible appearance to the merits throat must justify puncture. Cases will be included whether or not they had consulted for a "sore throat" in the 10 days preceding the date of diagnosis Exclusion Criteria: * Neoplastic disease of the throat, scalable Hematologic with tonsillar localization History of tonsillectomy
