18
Q

What is the primary goal of running diagnostic test when assessing if an individual has pharyngitis?

A

to separate acute streptococcal pharyngitis from other etiologies.

19
Q

How would you treat pharyngitis caused by Group A B-hemolytic strep?

A

Either Penicillin, Amoxicillin or erythromycin

20
Q

How to treat viral pharyngitis?

A

entirely symptom based treatment except in severe cases of influenza where we use amantadine, oseltamivir, zanamivir

21
Q

What are some complications of acute streptococcal pharyngitis?

A

Rheumatic fever is the best-known complication,
Acute glomerulonephritis
Peritonsillar abscess (QUINSY)

22
Q

What is croup?

A

is a syndrome that includes laryngotracheitis, laryngeotracheobronchitis (seal like bark), and laryngotracheobronchopneumonitis.

23
Q

What population is croup common in?

A

more common in boys than in girls, usually occurs between 6-36 months of age

24
Q

What is the etiology of croup?

A

Parainfluenza virus types 1 to 3 (type 1 is most common), Influenza A and B viruses

25
Q

C/F of croup?

A

usually start like an URTI, with low-grade fever and coryza followed by a barking cough and various degrees of respiratory distress (e.g., nasal flaring, respiratory retractions, stridor), steeple sign (which is non specific may be seen in other conditions)

26
Q

Treatment protocol for croup.

A

Humidification therapy
Corticosteroid therapy
Nebulized Epinephrine

27
Q

What is being seen in this figure?

A

steeple sign characteristic of a patient with croup.

28
Q

What is acute epiglottitis?

A

Is an acute, rapidly progressive form of cellulitis of the epiglottis and surrounding tissues that may lead to complete airway obstruction and is potential fatal.

29
Q

What are causal organisms of acute epiglottitis?

A

Streptococcus pneumoniae,Staphylococcus aureus,H. influenza

30
Q

C/F of acute epiglottitis.

A

High fever, severe sore throat, odynophagia, and dysphagia develop abruptly.

Fatal asphyxia may occur within a few hours of onset.

tripod position

Drooling is very common

31
Q

What age group is acute epiglottitis often seen in?

A

young children more commonly

32
Q

Upon physical examination of acute epiglottitis what is witnessed?

A

Moderate or severe respiratory distress, with inspiratory stridor and retractions of the chest wall.

33
Q

What will one see upon oropharyngeal examination of acute epiglottitis?

A

infection that is much less severe than would be predicted from symptoms

34
Q

What is seen upon direct fiberoptic laryngoscopy of an individual with acute epiglottitis? Where is this procedure typically performed?

A

frequently performed in a controlled environment (e.g. An operating room) to visualize and culture the typical edematous “cherry-red” epiglottis (beefy-red, stiff, edematous epiglottis) and facilitate placement of an endotracheal tube.

35
Q

What is characteristic in a neck radiograph of individual with acute epiglottitis?

A

the “thumbprint sign”)

36
Q

Where can cultures be taken from in an individual with acute epiglottitis?

A

Cultures from the supraglottic tissues and blood

37
Q

What features will raise suspicions that a person may have epiglottitis?

A

Often, there is no visible oropharyngeal inflammation. However, severe throat pain with a normal-appearing pharynx raises suspicion of epiglottitis and also in patients with sore throat and inspiratory stridor

38
Q

What is tonsillitis often caused by?

A

most often caused by the common cold viruses (adenovirus, rhinovirus, influenza, coronavirus, and respiratory syncytial virus), but occasionally by Epstein-Barr virus.

39
Q

What bacterial pathogen is tonsillitis most commonly caused by?

A

Group A β-hemolytic streptococcus (GABHS) is most common

40
Q

C/F tonsilitis.

A

Halitosis and muffled/scratchy voice

Painful swallowing is hallmark

sore throat

41
Q

What are conservative treatment methods for tonsillitis?

A

To reduce the discomfort from tonsillitis include pain and fever by

Antipyretics and analgesics,

Drink plenty of fluids to drink,

Get lots of rest,

42
Q

What are the antibiotics that should be used in the treatment of tonsillitis?

A

the tonsillitis is caused byGABHS, thenpenicillinoramoxicillinbeing primary choices.

43
Q

Can surgery be implicated to treat tonsillitis?

A

Chronic, severe or recurrent cases may be treated with Tonsillectomy(surgical removal of tonsils) as a choice for treatment.
