Abstract:
Pharyngitis is one of the most common medical problems and ranges in severity from minor to fatal. The treatment regimens presented have been standardized for the various pathogens on the basis of clinical response and pathogen eradication. The current major challenge is the rapid recognition and diagnosis of streptococcal infection and clarification of the etiologic role of several nonstreptococcal pathogens.
