Medical condition
Vincent's angina (also termed Plaut–Vincent's angina ),[ 1] [ 2] is pharyngitis (inflammation of the pharynx ) and tonsillitis (inflammation of the palatine tonsils ), caused by infection with two types of bacteria called fusiform (Fusobacterium spp.)[ 3] and spirochaetes (Borrelia spp.[ 3] and Spirillum spp.).[ 4] This symbiosis of bacteria is sometimes termed a "fusospirochaetal" infection.
