Disease relevance of Pharyngitis

 

High impact information on Pharyngitis

 

Chemical compound and disease context of Pharyngitis

  • To evaluate this activity of caffeine, we used new study methods in a randomized controlled trial on patients with acute sore throat due to tonsillopharyngitis [11].
  • Demonstration of dose response of flurbiprofen lozenges with the sore throat pain model [12].
  • We conclude that the sore throat pain model is a sensitive assay for identification of the activity of oral analgesic drugs in children and that ibuprofen is an effective analgesic in children [13].
  • Sore throat and hoarseness are usually unrelated to yeast infection in patients using triamcinolone acetonide aerosol [14].
  • With the exception of methacholine, all substances caused symptoms of rhinorrhea, congestion, and sore throat [15].
 

Biological context of Pharyngitis

  • Three classes of macrolide resistance phenotypes and three different erythromycin resistance determinants were found among 127 erythromycin-resistant group A streptococcal (GAS) isolates recovered from 355 (35.8%) pediatric pharyngitis patients in Rome, Italy [16].
  • Being as efficacious as penicillin and having the advantages over erythromycin of once-daily dosing and the lack of drug interactions, dirithromycin is an alternative to penicillin in the treatment of streptococcal pharyngitis for patients 12 years of age and older [17].
  • Preliminary sequencing of the genome of an erythromycin-resistant serotype M6 clone that was responsible for a pharyngitis outbreak in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was conducted to determine the structure of the genetic element containing the mefA gene, which encodes a macrolide efflux protein [18].
  • The Directigen 1-2-3 Group A Strep Test (DGAST; BBL Microbiology Systems, Cockeysville, Md.) was compared with conventional culture procedures on Trypticase soy agar with 5% sheep blood (BBL) and Selective Streptococcal Agar (ssA; BBL) for detection of group A beta-hemolytic streptococci (GABHS) for 1,006 patients complaining of sore throat [19].
  • The predicted amino acid sequences of the two pharyngitis strains were identical and were 88% homologous to the amino acid sequence of a group G M-protein gene [20].
 

Anatomical context of Pharyngitis

 

Gene context of Pharyngitis

  • Clindamycin in the treatment of an outbreak of streptococcal pharyngitis in a kibbutz due to beta-lactamase producing organisms [26].
  • A study of H2 receptor antagonists in the treatment of chronic intractable pharyngitis [27].
  • In a controlled study of 75 patients suffering from chronic pharyngitis: 30 were treated with H2-receptor antagonist, 30 with H1-receptor antagonist, local decongestants and antiseptic gargles: and 15 treated with alum, salt or Dispirin gargles acted as controls [27].
  • The typical triad in our series was: pharyngitis, a tender/swollen neck, and noncavitating pulmonary infiltrates [28].
  • Paired acute and convalescent sera from patients with streptococcal pharyngitis possessed significantly higher levels of anti-SCP IgG than did sera from healthy individuals [29].
