title: [What hides behind the diagnoses angina follicularis and lacunaris? A contribution to the differentiation of tonsillitis].
abstract: An one-year examination of 315 children shows that under the diagnosis of follicular tonsillitis or lacunar tonsillitis many aetiological different diseases are summarized. More frequently than previously assumed adeno-, respiratory syncytial-, influenza A-, entero-, herpes simplex- and probably other viruses are the cause. It is shown to what extent the critical general evaluation also of discrete clinical data enables a differentiation. The usual general penicillin therapy of the patients with tonsillitis can be dispensed with.
