cord-262843-i0cy7467	Suzumoto, Masaki	A scoring system for management of acute pharyngo-tonsillitis in adults	2008-09-05		.txt	text/plain	3339	199	46	Patients with acute pharyngo-tonsillitis were evaluated for causative pathogens and were assessed clinical symptoms and pharyngo-tonsillar finding by a clinical scoring system. CONCLUSION: The current study strongly suggested that the clinical scoring system reflected disease severity well and would be very useful for evaluating clinical course and decision making for the antimicrobial treatment of acute pharyngo-tonisllitis. An appropriate scoring system was also developed and applied for evaluating severities and clinical course of acute pharyngo-tonsillitis. In the current study, we defined causative pathogens and the severity of acute pharyngotonsillitis by a clinical scoring system in adult patients. In this study, the frequencies of viruses in adult acute pharyngo-tonsillitis were lower rather than those reported in children, when we applied PCR/RT-PCR to identify four important viruses such as RS virus, adenovirus, influenza virus, and hMPV from pharyngeal swab.	./cache/cord-262843-i0cy7467.txt	./txt/cord-262843-i0cy7467.txt
