We present a case of an 18-year-old Malay female who presented with one-week history of painful right sided neck swelling, fever and odynophagia. Neck CT confirms ruptured multiloculated abscess with posterosuperior extension into prevertebral space. Pus and tissue cultured <em>Streptococcus anginosus</em> and <em>Eikenella corrodens</em> with positive TB PCR. She responded well to ampicillin/ sulbactam and anti-tuberculosis treatment with no evidence of residual collection from ultrasound.</p> ER -
