    Extractions: A scoring system Citations Evidence from randomized trials was not found for most questions related to the management of sore throats. Four clinical characteristics (no cough, fever higher than 38 degrees C, exudate, and tender cervical nodes) suggest that a case of pharyngitis would be improved by antibiotic treatment. Use of a clinical score for management of GABHS pharyngitis can be recommended on the basis of the rarity of rheumatic fever in modern society, the resources devoted to management of upper respiratory tract illnesses, the volume of antibiotics prescribed, and the emergence of antibiotic resistance as a growing health issue.

    Extractions: A sore throat can have many causes. Some of these are listed below: Many common viruses, and even the viruses that cause mononucleosis (mono) and the flu, can cause a sore throat. Some of the viruses that cause a sore throat can produce blisters in the mouth and throat ("aphthous stomatitis"). Breathing through the mouth can produce throat dryness and soreness. Sinus drainage may cause a sore throat. A sore throat can also be caused by bacteria. The two most common bacteria to cause as sore throat are Streptococcus (which causes strep throat) and Arcanobacterium haemolyticum. Arcanobacterium causes sore throats mainly in young adults and is sometimes associated with a fine red rash A sore throat that lasts for more than 2 weeks can be a sign of a serious illness, such as throat

Both viral and bacterial forms of pharyngitis can make your throat sore and make swallowing difficult. If you have a severe case, you may find it hard to breathe. Most cases of acute pharyngitis last a few days with treatment. If you smoke, face regular exposure to environmental irritants, or have a continuing infection in your sinuses, lungs, or mouth, you may develop chronic pharyngitis, in which your symptoms will come back from time to time. The viral form of pharyngitis usually accompanies a cold, flu, or mononucleosis. Strep throat is the best-known example of a bacterial form of pharyngitis. Signs and Symptoms The symptoms of pharyngitis include the following: Sore throat Pain when swallowing In rare cases, difficulty breathing

    Extractions: Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Group A beta-hemolytic streptococci are the most common bacterial cause of pharyngitis or "strep throat." Streptococcal pharyngitis occurs most commonly from October to April, often in children 5 to 10 years old but also in adults. The infection is spread by direct person-to-person contact with nasal secretions or saliva. The organism may be present in the throat of people without causing a sore throat. This is referred to as colonization. Small children frequently have no symptoms or symptoms too mild for diagnosis. Even though the sore throat usually gets better on its own (self-limited), people who have strep throat should take antibiotics to prevent some of the more serious complications of this infection, particularly acute rheumatic fever. Risk factors include recent strep throat in family or household members. The
