Presentation
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]
Respiratoric
- 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]
Treatment
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]
Prognosis
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]
Prevention
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]
