seperti streptokokus grup A,
korinebakterium, arkanobakterium,
neisseria gonorrhoeae atau Chlamydia

5. Manifestasi Klinis

4) Adanya eritema pada faring dan arkus palatum
5) Adenopati regional

2) Demam tinggi, Letargi.
3) Faring berwarna merah
4) Tonsi palatum membesar dan terdapat tanda
eritema dan mungkin memiliki eksudat berwarna
putih dan peteki
6. Pemeriksaan penunjang
Rapid Antigen Test
Throat culture (Culture swab tenggorokan)
Mono spot is up to 95% sensitive in children (less
than 60% sensitivity in infants).
Peripheral smear may show atypical lymphocytes in
infectious mononucleosis.[5]
Perform gonococcal culture as indicated by history.
A complete blood count (CBC), erythrocyte
sedimentation rate (ESR), and C-reactive protein
have a low predictive value and usually are not
indicated
7. Penatalaksanaan
Prehospital care usually is not necessary for
uncomplicated pharyngitis unless airway compromise is an
issue.
Intubation should not be attempted unless the patient stops
breathing spontaneously.
Medication
GAS pharyngitis is usually a self-limited disease, and
most signs and symptoms resolve spontaneously in 3-4
days. If administered early, antibiotics can shorten the
duration of the illness by up to 1 day, but the main reason
they are given is for prevention of acute rheumatic
fever.[20] This rationale is being questioned by many as the
incidence of acute rheumatic fever in the United States is
extremely low. In addition, pain medications such as
NSAIDs or acetaminophen and steroids can alleviate the
symptoms associated with GAS pharyngitis.[21] Antibiotics
do not prevent acute glomerulonephritis. Steroids may be
used for airway compromise and symptomatic
relief.[22] Antifungals and antivirals are used in certain rare
