S100A8/A9 levels in serum (a) and saliva (b) of controls and patients with acute tonsillitis, peritonsillitis, or peritonsillar abscess (mean ± SEM). All entities show significantly increased serum levels compared to the controls. Furthermore, significantly higher S100A8/A9 levels were detectable in sera of PTA patients compared to PC patients. There was a significant increase of salivary S100A8/A9 levels in patients with PTA compared to healthy controls (∗p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.01, and ∗∗∗p < 0.001).
