We conclude that exudative pharyngitis may be followed by acute inferior myocardial infarction in young males and the diagnosis of infarction should be ruled out when such patients present with chest pains. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Pain

  If their pain was not resolved by 48 hours, they were called again daily between the third and seventh days after the initial visit to determine the time of pain resolution. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Pharyngitis

  Coronary arteriography was performed in four patients with pharyngitis and was normal, while multi-vessel disease was the rule in those without pharyngitis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Sore Throat

  The study included all consecutive patients between 18 and 65 years of age presenting with acute exudative pharyngitis, sore throat, odynophagia, or a combination, and with more than two Centor criteria. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Common Cold

  Abstract The isolation rates of strains of group C beta-hemolytic streptococci from throat swab cultures of patients with exudative pharyngitis, the common cold, and healthy controls were compared. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Odynophagia

  The study included all consecutive patients between 18 and 65 years of age presenting with acute exudative pharyngitis, sore throat, odynophagia, or a combination, and with more than two Centor criteria. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Chest Pain

  We conclude that exudative pharyngitis may be followed by acute inferior myocardial infarction in young males and the diagnosis of infarction should be ruled out when such patients present with chest pains. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Exudative Pharyngitis

  Lancefield group C beta-hemolytic streptococci appear to be associated with exudative pharyngitis in college students. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Tonsillar Exudate

  By using a cohort study design in a college health service, patients with exudative pharyngitis were retrospectively identified by description of tonsillar exudate on chart review. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Suggestibility

  CONCLUSIONS: The results of this clinical trial suggest that oral steroid and IM steroid provide similar levels of pain relief in acute exudative pharyngitis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Confusion

  Because C. pseudodiphtheriticum can be easily confused with Corynebacterium diphtheriae in Gram stain, clarification of its role in the pathogenesis of exudative pharyngitis in otherwise healthy persons is of public health importance. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Corynebacterium Diphtheriae

  Because C. pseudodiphtheriticum can be easily confused with Corynebacterium diphtheriae in Gram stain, clarification of its role in the pathogenesis of exudative pharyngitis in otherwise healthy persons is of public health importance. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

After completion of the treatment, telephone follow-up regarding the relief of pain was conducted. A total of 103 patients were enrolled. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Their prognosis was good, with normal exercise tests and absent coronary risk factors except for smoking in two patients and family history in one. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Simple and rapid screening tests to differentiate C. pseudodiphtheriticum from C. diphtheriae should be performed to prevent unnecessary concern in the community and unnecessary outbreak control measures. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
