Background. Pharyngitis, or sore throat, is often caused by infection. Common respiratory viruses account for the vast majority of cases (see Viral Pharyngitis), and these are usually self-limited.Bacteria are also important etiologic agents, and, when identified properly, may be treated with antibacterials, resulting in decreased local symptoms and prevention of serious sequelae.n addition to symptoms localized to the oropharynx, GABHS pharyngitis may also cause suppurative and nonsuppurative complications. Invasion of nearby structures may cause suppurative complications such as otitis media, sinusitis, peritonsillar abscess, retropharyngeal abscess, and cervical adenitis.
