Abstract:

BackgroundMost people with sore throat do not benefit from antibiotic treatment, but nearly three-quarters of those presenting in primary care are prescribed antibiotics. A test that is predictive of bacterial infection could help guide antibiotic prescribing. Calprotectin is a biomarker of neutrophilic inflammation, and may be a useful marker of bacterial throat infections.AimTo assess the feasibility of measuring calprotectin from throat swabs, and assess whether individuals with sore throats likely to be caused by streptococcal infections have apparently higher throat calprotectin levels th

Abstract:

Bacterial throat infection has a worldwide distribution, affecting persons of all ages, races, social strata and both genders. The present study was a prospective cross-sectional study aimed to isolate and identify the bacteria which cause throat infection and their antibiotic susceptibility in Madani – Sudan. Throat swabs were collected from 100 patients attended to Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) Teaching Hospital. Isolation and identification of bacteria were made by directly inoculated onto blood agar, Gram stain and biochemical test. All isolated organisms were tested for their in vitro

Abstract:

Throat infection, also known as pharyngitis or tonsillitis, is a common condition that affects individuals of all ages, being especially prevalent among children and adolescents. It can be caused by viruses or bacteria, with Streptococcus pyogenes standing out as the main bacterial agent. Symptoms include pain when swallowing, fever, malaise, and oropharyngeal inflammation. Although often self-limiting, the infection can lead to complications if not properly treated. Accurate diagnosis and appropriate management are essential to relieve symptoms, prevent adverse outcomes, and avoid the indiscr

Abstract:

Sore throat is an acutely common health problem both in Russia and around the world as a whole. This is one of the most common reasons adults and children seek primary specialized care. The overuse and misuse of antibiotics, especially for viral infections of the respiratory tract, such as acute and exacerbation of chronic tonsillopharyngitis, greatly increases the risk of developing and spreading antibiotic resistance. Up to 80% of cases of sore throat have a viral etiology of the disease, and even when the infection is bacterial, except for pyogenic streptococcus, the vast majority of cases

Abstract:

Group A Streptococcus (Strep A) bacteria causes a broad spectrum of diseases. The most common manifestations of Strep A infection are sore throat and pus-producing skin infections such as impetigo. Complications of Strep A infection can lead to inflammation in the bones, muscles, joints, and internal organs causing acute rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease (RHD). In The Gambia, the RHD burden is thought to be very high. However, epidemiological data is minimal, and Strep A control programmes do not exist.

IntroductionPrior to April 2016 the policy in the clinic was to ‘Consider taking a pharyngeal Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea swab in conjunction with exposure, history and symptoms’ in heterosexual males and females. However, in practice pharyngeal swabs were almost never taken from heterosexual patients and only routinely taken from men who have sex with men (MSM). Recent studies suggest that gonorrhoea and chlamydia infections are being missed by taking vulvovaginal and urethral samples only. Therefore, it was decided to take throat swabs for chlamydia and gonorrhoea from all patients aged 20 and

Abstract:

Acute respiratory infections are a common reason to visit a pediatrician. At the same time, repeated episodes of respiratory infections which are more typical in preschool children are of particular concern. The paper highlights different approaches to define recurrent respiratory infections. Among symptoms of acute respiratory infections (including recurrent ones), a sore throat is especially distinguished. It significantly reduces a patient's quality of life and impairs well-being. Although sore throat can be induced by various diseases, acute tonsillopharyngitis is the most common cause. Th

Abstract:

Background The recent surge in incidence and geographic spread of OROV infections poses an escalating threat to global public health. However, studies exploring the clinical signs of OROV infection remains exceedingly limited. Methods We searched for OROV studies published until June 17, 2024, in several electronic databases including MEDLINE, EMBASE, SCOPUS, and the Cochrane Library. Results In total, 15 studies involving 806 patients with OROV infection were eligible for inclusion. General symptoms with fever and headache were the most common.

Abstract:

Nosocomial infection among male patients in a public psychiatric hospital was studied and the definitions for use in long-term care facilities were employed for diagnosis. The overall nosocomial infection rate was 6.7 per 1,000 day inpatients; 55.6% of these infections were identified in the respiratory tract, 50% of them being respiratory viral diseases; 38.9% of the nosocomial infections involved the eyes, ears, nose, throat and mouth, and 5.6% involved the skin and soft tissues. The epidemiological characteristics and the main clinical alterations of these inpatients were also identified.

Bacterial infections are a major cause of illness in patients with hematological malignancy and can lead to mortality, if not treated early and properly. The incidence of bacterial infection in these patients and the spectrum of causative organisms are liable to change according to region & time. This observational study was designed to isolate and identify the aerobic bacteria causing infection in patients with hematological malignancy.

Cough, cough. Is that person sick, or do they just have a throat tickle? A growing body of research suggests pathogen threats shape key aspects of human sociality. However, less research has investigated specific processes involved in pathogen threat detection. Here, we examine whether perceivers can accurately detect pathogen threats using an understudied sensory modality—sound. Participants in four studies judged whether cough and sneeze sounds were produced by people infected with a communicable disease or not. We found no evidence that participants could accurately identify the origins of

Considering the co-morbidities of psoriasis patients, it might be justifiable to find out the events that provoke the initiation or exacerbation of psoriatic disease process.Objective: To observe the association of strepto

Some strains of group A streptococci (GAS) have preference for the throat and others for the skin depending on M protein type. A study in three remote communities provided 350 GAS isolates foremmsequence typing, 244 were alsoemmpattern typed. There was 100% correlation betweenemmsequence and pattern type.

Abstract:

The most frequent bacterial pathogen causing acute pharyngitis is Group-A hemolytic Streptococcus (GAS), and sore throat is the second most frequent acute infection. The immunological reaction to group A Streptococcus-induced pharyngitis results in Acute Rheumatic Fever (ARF). A genetically vulnerable host for ARF is a streptococcal infection. ARF, which can affect various organs and cause irreparable valve damage and heart failure, is the antecedent to Rheumatic Heart Disease (RHD).
