  ABSTRACT: Tonsillitis is one of the most common presentations to the primary care clinic. Majority of the tonsillitis is viral etiology and occasionally is caused by bacteria such as streptococcal pharyngo-tonsillitis. However, if tonsillitis lasts longer than a week and associated with cervical lymph nodes, other differential diagnoses should be considered. This case report illustrated a patient who presented with fever, sore throat and odynophagia which lasted for one week then developed trismus. Examination revealed a left tonsillar hypertrophy with soft palate swelling and pus aspirated from the tonsil revealed positive smear to Acid-fast Bacilli and he responded to anti-tuberculosis treatment.
