A case of multiple post-anginal complications.
The paper presents an unusual case of multiple post-anginal complications in a 21-year old male patient that included a peritonsillar abscess, parapharyngeal space phlegmon, a deep intrafascial phlegmon of the neck, internal jugular vein thrombophlebitis, septicopyemia, lung abscess and pneumonia, and a pyothorax. The patient was cured surgically and with broad-spectrum antibiotics and antifungal medication. The unusual course of the disease with presumed mycotic etiology as a complication of antibiotic therapy is discussed.
