It is inflammation of the throat, and is typically referred to as "sore throat." Most cases are caused by a viral infection, including influenza , adenovirus, and Epstein-Barr virus. Typically the throat is red and irritated; making swallowing difficult. About 15% of all sore throats are caused by Group A Streptococcus (Group A Strep) and is referred to as Strep Throat. Infection by Group A Strep can lead to complications including scarlet fever. Other bacterial causes include Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Chlamydiophila For more information about pharyngitis, please follow the links indicated below: MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia: Pharyngitis eMedicine: Pharyngitis Related information: Search: News Search: Products Last Reviewed: Jul 1, 2004 Home About Binax Products Diseases ...

PubMed Citation View larger version [in this window] [in a new window] A 26-year-old man presented to the emergency department with a two-day history of a sore throat. He was unable to eat solids because of pain and swelling but was tolerating liquids. He was afebrile but had taken 800 mg of ibuprofen one hour before arrival. On physical examination, a white exudate was seen on the tonsils (arrows). The patient was treated with 1.2 million units of penicillin G benzathine intramuscularly and given a benzocaine spray for topical analgesia. The results of a throat culture confirmed the diagnosis of streptococcal pharyngitis. Streptococcal pharyngitis is caused by group A -hemolytic streptococci and most often affects persons situated in close quarters. Common symptoms include sore throat, pain on swallowing, and fever. The classic finding on physical examination is the presence of white exudates on swollen tonsils, as seen in the image. It is important to treat this self-limited illness in order to prevent rheumatic fever. Shilpa Nimishikavi, M.D.

Letters Treatment of Exudative Pharyngitis To the Editor : The dispatch by Izurieta et al. (Emerg Infect Dis 1997;1:65-8) reporting exudative pharyngitis possibly due to Corynebacterium pseudodiphtheriticum was very interesting, especially with the resurgence of diphtheria in the former Soviet Union. However, I was somewhat surprised at the treatment received by the 4-year-old patient whose case is reported. Erythromycin is an effective antibiotic in diphtheria, but it is secondary in importance to diphtheria antitoxin. The presence of a thick grayish white adherent pseudomembrane, adenopathy and cervical swelling, and low grade fever should certainly provoke a high index of suspicion of diphtheria, especially in a child who has not received pediatric immunization. The diagnosis of diphtheria is primarily made presumptively on clinical grounds and confirmed by the recovery of toxigenic Corynebacterium diphtheriae by the laboratory. Antitoxin treatment cannot wait for laboratory confirmation. Prompt administration of antitoxin is important because diphtheria toxin binds rapidly and irreversibly to tissue sites. Delay in initiating antitoxin treatment is associated with increased incidence of myocarditis, paralysis, and death. Also, it would have been good practice to have placed this child in isolation until the diagnosis was established by the laboratory. The primary care physician in this case is indeed fortunate that the patient did not have diphtheria; the results could have been tragic.

Pharyngitis is one of the most common conditions encountered by the family physician. (1-5) The optimal approach for differentiating among various causes of pharyngitis requires a problem-focused history, a physical examination, and appropriate laboratory testing. Identifying the cause of pharyngitis, especially group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus (GABHS), is important to prevent potential life-threatening complications. (6) Epidemiology and Pathogenesis The 2000 National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey found that acute pharyngitis accounts for 1.1 percent of visits in the primary care setting and is ranked in the top 20 reported primary diagnoses resulting in office visits. (3) Peak seasons for sore throat include late winter and early spring. (4) Transmission of typical viral and GABHS pharyngitis occurs mostly by hand contact with nasal discharge, rather than by oral contact. (7,8) Symptoms develop after a short incubation period of 24 to 72 hours.

(1) He outlines what may be the emergence of new therapeutic issues in streptococcal pharyngitisprimarily, increased failure rates in eradicating streptococci from the pharynx with traditional penicillin therapy. A look back at the history of streptococcal pharyngitis shows that the treatment of this once-dreaded infection, particularly with its serious systemic sequela of rheumatic fever, has been one of the great success stories of post-World War II medicine. The prevalence rate of rheumatic fever, which ran as high as 41 per 100,000 population in earlier decades of this century, has dropped to an almost negligible rate (as low as 0. 046 per 100,000 in the same communities) during the past 15 years. (2) Isolated outbreaks of rheumatic fever in the 1980s appeared to result from particularly pathogenic streptococci rather than inadequate medical care. (3,4 ) Thus, there is no reason to question the effectiveness of traditional parenteral or oral penicillin therapy in the prevention of rheumatic fever.

Sickle Cell Information Center Protocols by James Eckman, M.D. and Allan Platt, PA-C Pharyngitis and Sleep Apnea Infections of the throat are no more common in sickle cell anemia patients, but prompt treatment may prevent complications such as sepsis, meningitis, pain crisis or aplastic crisis. Since patients have a predisposition to these complications, their occurrence must always be considered especially when evaluating children with upper respiratory symptoms. The incidence of adenotonsillar hypertrophy (ATH) in SCD appears increased and not related to infectious diseases. We suggest that ATH represents a part of the natural course of compensatory lymphoid tissue enlargement in children with SCD. This causes obstructive sleep apnea syndrome with symptoms of snoring. Adenotonsillectomy can correct the of symptoms and improve alveolar hypoventilation. Overnight polysomnography is diagnostic. Clinical Findings Subjective Data Present Illness . Document onset of sore throat, ability to talk, pain location and radiation. Note any associated symptoms such as fever, chills, rash, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain headache, earache, coryza, cough, sputum production, myalgias, and fatigue. Seek symptoms of airway compromise including stridor, drooling, restlessness, inability to lay on back, or air hunger. Document the ability to swallow liquids and keep fluids down. Inquire about similar illness in family members and friends. A history of snoring may be caused by adenotonsillar hypertrophy.

Cefdinir has not, however, been studied for the prevention of rheumatic fever following S pyogenes pharyngitis/tonsillitis. Only intramuscular penicillin has been demonstrated to be effective for the prevention of rheumatic fever. Efficacy: In one clinical study, a 5-day course of OMNICEF proved comparable to a 10-day course of Penicillin in the treatment of pharyngitis/tonsillitis. Clinical cure is defined as complete resolution of signs and symptoms; achieved with OMNICEF 7 mg/kg bid x 5 days, or penicillin 10 mg/kg qid x 10 days. Dosing: OMNICEF gives you and your patients dosing convenience. Amoxicillin/clavulanate ES-600 dosing is 90 mg/kg divided by BID x 10 days ; azithromycin dosing is 12 mg/kg QD x5 days ; cefprozil dosing is 7.5 mg/kg BID x 10 days Antacids that contain magnesium or aluminum and iron supplements, including multivitamins that contain iron, should be taken at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after taking OMNICEF.

Upper Respiratory Infections Pharyngitis / Tonsillitis What is pharyngitis and tonsillitis? Pharyngitis and tonsillitis are infections in the throat that cause inflammation. If the tonsils are primarily affected, it is called tonsillitis. If the throat is primarily affected, it is called pharyngitis. A person might even have inflammation and infection of both the tonsils and the throat. This would be called pharyngotonsillitis. These infections are spread by close contact with other individuals. Bacterial infections are more common during the winter. Viral infections are more common in summer and fall. What causes pharyngitis and tonsillitis? There are many causes of infections in the throat. The following are the most common: viruses - this infection is the most common in all age groups, and may include: Adenovirus Influenza virus Epstein-Barr virus Herpes simplex virus bacteria Group A Beta Hemolytic Streptococci (GABHS) Neisseria Gonorrhea Hemophilus Influenza Type B Mycoplasma fungal infections parasitic infections cigarette smoke other causes What are the symptoms of pharyngitis and tonsillitis?
