Ontologies are not able to easily express the concept "any kind of tonsillitis except infectious tonsillitis". It would be necessary to define what kind of tonsillitis you are referring to. Also, since tonsillitis may be referred to as a disease, it may also be appropriate to use a term from SNOMED or DO or MeSH to refer to this. Please start a new thread if you would like to have a term for a specific kind of tonsillitis that happens to be non-infectious.
