Abstract
The tonsils, lymphoid tissue located in the throat, serve as the first line of immunedefense against pathogens entering the oral cavity. Tonsillitis is a common presentation in ENT clinics, affecting both children and adults. Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus are the most frequently isolated bacteria from throat swab cultures in these cases. While Pseudomonas aeruginosa is not a rare pathogen in acute or chronic tonsillitis, its isolation from an immunocompetent individual with this condition is uncommon. This case report presents an unusual instance of Pseudomonas bacteremia in a 20-year-old healthy male with acute tonsillitis.
