About Pharyngitis.

Pharyngitis is an acute or chronic inflammation of the mucosal lining and lymphoid tissues of the pharynx, commonly presenting as a sore throat.

It affects both pediatric and adult populations, occurring most frequently in school-aged children and adolescents.

Pathophysiologically, the condition most often results from viral respiratory infections such as rhinovirus and adenovirus, though notable bacterial etiologies like *Streptococcus pyogenes* (group A *Streptococcus*) also trigger localized inflammation.

Defining clinical features include pharyngeal erythema, tonsillar exudate, odynophagia, fever, and tender anterior cervical lymphadenopathy.
