Few reports document the coexistence of Peritonsillar Abscess (PTA) and Infectious Mononucleosis (IM). In this paper, we are reporting on two cases that presented to our department with the two conditions simultaneously. We also review the literature and discuss the current theories behind what was considered, for sometime, an unusual presentation of a common problem.
