The most prevalent prior diagnosis associated with PTA was acute tonsillitis, followed by chronic tonsillitis and acute pharyngitis. The association with acute pharyngitis suggests possible non-tonsillogenic causes. Other specific causes of PTA, such as inflammation of the palatine gland or branchiogenic remnants, are not captured by the ICD system or the database utilized in this study.
