Quinsy following tonsillectomy (five case reports).
Five cases of post-tonsillectomy quinsy are presented, usually associated with tonsillar remnants. Four of these had no pus and one did, but the clinical picture was the same. Hence, if tonsillectomy is performed to prevent further quinsies, it must be careful and complete.
