Causes, diagnosis and treatment of pharyngitis.

Huovinen P.

Antimicrobial Research Laboratory, National Public Health Institute, Turku, Finland.

Pharyngitis is the only respiratory tract infection in which microbiologic diagnosis has immediate influence on the treatment decision. Microbiologic diagnosis should always precede antibiotic treatment of pharyngitis to ensure optimal treatment. Penicillin administered for 10 days is still the drug of choice.
