In most cases, the causative agent of tonsillitis are viruses, such as adenovirus, influenza virus, coronaviruses, rhinovirus. In rare cases, tonsillitis may be caused by cytomegalovirus, herpesvirus type 1 or Epstein-Barr virus. Among the bacteria that causes the infection most often the group A streptococci Infection with bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Mycoplasma pneumoniae gonokokk and sometimes can also lead to the development of tonsillitis.

The microorganisms that cause tonsillitis, usually spread through close contact with an infected person.
