Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The second common problem to be presented in this series is the acute sore throat. The common causes are viral pharyngitis and tonsillitis due to streptococcus pyogenes. Another important cause that warrants attention is Epstein Barr virus (infectious mononucleosis) so that prescribing of penicillins is carefully considered. The sore throat may be the presentation of serious and hidden systemic diseases, such as blood dyscrasias, AIDS and diabetes (due to moniliasis). |
