PHARYNGITIS

Primary Care: Clinics in Office Practice, 1996
This article reviews the commonly encountered agents causing acute inflammation of the pharynx and tonsils, with special attention to a practical approach for identifying and dealing with the group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus. Ubiquitous viral agents such as Epstein-Barr virus, rhinovirus, and adenovirus are reviewed.

The incidence of sore throat and group A streptococcal pharyngitis in children at high risk of developing acute rheumatic fever: A systematic review and meta-analysis

PLoS ONE, 2020
Background Group A streptococcal (GAS) pharyngitis has traditionally been considered the sole precursor of acute rheumatic fever (ARF). Evidence from Australia, however, suggests that GAS skin infections may contribute to the pathogenesis of ARF.

Performance and Practicality of a Rapid Molecular Test for the Diagnosis of Strep A Pharyngitis in a Remote Australian Setting.

American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2020
Over 5 days, 120 schoolchildren from two schools in the remote Kimberley region of Australia were screened for Strep A pharyngitis. Molecular point-of-care testing identified Strep A pharyngitis in 13/18 (72.2%) symptomatic children.

An Experimental Group A Streptococcus Vaccine That Reduces Pharyngitis and Tonsillitis in a Nonhuman Primate Model

mBio, 2019
GAS-related diseases disproportionally affect disadvantaged populations (e.g., indigenous populations), and development of a vaccine has been neglected.

Pharyngeal entomophthoromycosis

Journal of the Chinese Medical Association, 2014
We describe a rare case of entomophthoromycosis of the pharynx in a previously healthy patient, unlike other fungal infections which are seen as opportunistic infections in immunocompromised hosts. This infection is commonly seen in subtropical and tropical areas of Africa, America, and Asia.

Diagnosis and antibiotic treatment of group a streptococcal pharyngitis in children in a primary care setting: impact of point-of-care polymerase chain reaction

BMC Pediatrics, 2019
BackgroundTo compare the sensitivity and specificity of the recommended 2-step rapid antigen detection test (RADT) with confirmatory culture vs the point-of-care (POC) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) Roche cobas® Liat® Strep A test for detection of group

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2019
BackgroundClinical guidelines for the diagnosis of group A streptococcal (GAS) pharyngitis recommend the use of a rapid antigen detection test (RADT) and/or bacterial culture.

Pharyngitis

Primary Care: Clinics in Office Practice, 2014
Most infectious pharyngitis has a viral cause. The use of aspirin or nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agents (NSAIAs) is advised in adults and NSAIAs in children for the treatment of pain. There are several studies that show that NSAIAs relieve pharyngitis pain better than acetaminophen.

Cefuroxime axetil dosing regimens and probability of target attainment in adults and children

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Cefuroxime axetil exists in several dosage forms for oral administration, and is indicated for treatment of respiratory, genitourinary, skin and soft tissue infections. Evolving patterns of bacterial susceptibility, expressed as increasing minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs), warrant monitoring of antibiotic efficacy.
