Sore throat can be broadly categorized as infectious (usually viral or bacterial) and noninfectious causes. The two most common infectious causes are respiratory viruses and Group A Streptococcus (GAS). Respiratory viruses are the most common causes of acute pharyngitis, accounting for approximately 25% to 45% of cases, and usually present with signs and symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection, such as fatigue, nasal congestion, and cough.The goals of continuing professional development (CPD) and medical education are to acquire and retain knowledge that will enhance clinical practice and improve patient outcomes. The following self-assessment survey is offered for CPD credit and is designed to test your current knowledge and skills related to managing patients who present with similar case scenarios.This CPD activity is supported by an educational grant from Reckitt.
