Throat abscesses:
Causes and incidence
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Peritonsillar abscess is a complication of acute tonsillitis, usually after streptococcal or staphylococcal infection. It occurs more commonly in adolescents and young adults than in children.
Acute retropharyngeal abscess results from infection in the retropharyngeal lymph glands, which may follow an upper respiratory tract bacterial infection. Most common pathogens are beta-hemolytic Streptococcus and Staphylococcus aureus. These lymph glands begin to atrophy after age 2. Acute retropharyngeal abscess most commonly affects infants and children younger than age 2.
Chronic retropharyngeal abscess may result from tuberculosis of the cervical spine (Pott’s disease) and may occur at any age.

About prevalence and incidence statistics:
The term 'prevalence' of Bartholin's abscess usually refers to the estimated population
of people who are managing Bartholin's abscess at any given time.
The term 'incidence' of Bartholin's abscess refers to the annual diagnosis rate,
or the number of new cases of Bartholin's abscess diagnosed each year.
Hence, these two statistics types can differ:
a short-lived disease like flu can have high annual incidence but low prevalence,
but a life-long disease like diabetes has a low annual incidence but high prevalence.
