Question 1

Most cases of pharyngitis occur during the colder months and are primarily caused by&#10;A)Streptococcus pyogenes.&#10;B)viruses.&#10;C)Streptococcus pneumoniae.&#10;D)Staphylococcus aureus.

Accepted Answer

Most cases of pharyngitis occur during the colder months and often accompany other infections, primarily those caused by viruses. Patients with respiratory tract infections caused by influenza types A and B, parainfluenza, coxsackie A, rhinoviruses, or coronaviruses frequently complain of a sore throat. Pharyngitis, often with ulceration, is also commonly found in patients with infectious mononucleosis caused by either Epstein-Barr virus or cytomegalovirus. Although less common, pharyngitis caused by adenovirus or herpes simplex virus is clinically severe. Finally, acute retroviral syndrome caused by human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) is associated with acute pharyngitis.

Question 2

Match the disease with its definition.&#10;a.An inflammation of the mucous membranes of the oral cavity caused mostly by herpes simplex virus&#10;b.An infection of the epiglottis and other soft tissues above the vocal cords that typically presents with fever, difficulty in swallowing because of pain, drooling, and respiratory obstruction with inspiratory stridor&#10;c.Also called acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis, or trench mouth, a mixed bacterial-spirochetal infection of the gingival edge&#10;d.A relatively common illness in young children, primarily those younger than 3 years of age, who present with variable fever, inspiratory stridor (difficulty in moving enough air through the larynx), hoarseness, and a harsh, barking, nonproductive cough&#10;e.infection of the pharynx or sore throat that presents as erythematous and swollen tissue. Either inflammatory exudates, vesicles, and mucosal ulceration or nasopharyngeal lymphoid hyperplasia may be observed.f.Infection of the buccal (cheek) mucosa, tongue, or oropharynx by Candida spp.&#10;g.Inflammation of the larynx, which is usually associated with the common cold or influenza syndromes and is caused almost exclusively by viruses&#10;h.An inflammation of the nasal mucous membrane or lining caused mostly by viruses and characterized by fever, increased mucous secretions, inflammatory edema of the nasal mucosa, sneezing, and watery eyes&#10;Vincent's angina

Accepted Answer

Vincent's angina, also called acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis or trench mouth, is a mixed bacterial-spirochetal infection of the gingival edge. The infection is relatively rare today but is considered a very serious disease because it is often complicated by septic jugular thrombophlebitis, bacteremia, and widespread metastatic infection.

Question 3

An inflammation of the mucous membranes of the oral cavity caused mostly by herpes simplex virus is called&#10;A)laryngitis.&#10;B)pharyngitis.&#10;C)Vincent's angina.&#10;D)stomatitis.&#10;E)thrush.

Accepted Answer

Stomatitis is an inflammation of the mucous membranes of the oral cavity. Herpes simplex virus is the primary agent of this disease, in which multiple ulcerative lesions are seen on the oral mucosa. These lesions are painful and can be found not only in the mouth but also in the oropharynx. Herpetic infections of the oral cavity are prevalent among immunosuppressed patients.

Question 4

Also called acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis, or trench mouth, this condition is a mixed bacterial-spirochetal infection of the gingival edge.&#10;A)Laryngitis&#10;B)Laryngotracheobronchitis&#10;C)Epiglottitis&#10;D)Pharyngitis&#10;E)Vincent's angina

Accepted Answer

Vincent's angina, also called acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis, or trench mouth, is a mixed bacterial-spirochetal infection of the gingival edge. The infection is relatively rare today but is considered a very serious disease because it is often complicated by septic jugular thrombophlebitis, bacteremia, and widespread metastatic infection.

Question 5

Infection of the buccal (cheek) mucosa, tongue, or oropharynx by Candida spp.is called&#10;A)pharyngitis.&#10;B)Vincent's angina.&#10;C)rhinitis.&#10;D)stomatitis.&#10;E)thrush.

Accepted Answer

Candida spp. can invade the oral mucosa. Immunosuppressed patients, including very young infants, may develop oral candidiasis, called thrush. Oral thrush can extend to produce pharyngitis and/or esophagitis, a common finding in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and other immunosuppressed patients. Thrush is suspected if whitish patches of exudate on an area of inflammation are observed on the buccal (cheek) mucosa, tongue, or oropharynx. Oral mucositis or pharyngitis in the granulocytopenic patient may be caused by Enterobacteriaceae, S. aureus, or Candida spp. and is manifested by erythema, sore throat, and possibly exudate or ulceration.

Question 6

Match the disease with its definition.&#10;a.An inflammation of the mucous membranes of the oral cavity caused mostly by herpes simplex virus&#10;b.An infection of the epiglottis and other soft tissues above the vocal cords that typically presents with fever, difficulty in swallowing because of pain, drooling, and respiratory obstruction with inspiratory stridor&#10;c.Also called acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis, or trench mouth, a mixed bacterial-spirochetal infection of the gingival edge&#10;d.A relatively common illness in young children, primarily those younger than 3 years of age, who present with variable fever, inspiratory stridor (difficulty in moving enough air through the larynx), hoarseness, and a harsh, barking, nonproductive cough&#10;e.infection of the pharynx or sore throat that presents as erythematous and swollen tissue. Either inflammatory exudates, vesicles, and mucosal ulceration or nasopharyngeal lymphoid hyperplasia may be observed.f.Infection of the buccal (cheek) mucosa, tongue, or oropharynx by Candida spp.&#10;g.Inflammation of the larynx, which is usually associated with the common cold or influenza syndromes and is caused almost exclusively by viruses&#10;h.An inflammation of the nasal mucous membrane or lining caused mostly by viruses and characterized by fever, increased mucous secretions, inflammatory edema of the nasal mucosa, sneezing, and watery eyes&#10;Laryngitis

Accepted Answer

Acute laryngitis is usually associated with the common cold or influenza syndromes. Characteristically, patients complain of hoarseness and lowering or deepening of the voice. Acute laryngitis is generally a benign illness. Acute laryngitis is caused almost exclusively by viruses. Although numerous viruses can cause laryngitis, influenza and parainfluenza viruses, rhinoviruses, adenoviruses, coronavirus and human metapneumovirus are the most common etiologic agents.

Question 7

Match the clinical condition with the most common agent.
a.Influenza virus, parainfluenza virus, rhinovirus, and other viruses
b.Influenza virus, parainfluenza virus, Mycoplasma
c.Haemophilus influenzae
d.Streptococcus pyogenes
e.Anaerobes including Fusobacterium, Bacteroides, and anaerobic cocci
f.Herpes simplex virus
g.Candida spp.
h.Mixed bacteria with spirochetes
Laryngotracheobronchitis

Question 8

A relatively common illness in young children, primarily those younger than 3 years of age, who present with variable fever, inspiratory stridor (difficulty in moving enough air through the larynx), hoarseness, and a harsh, barking, nonproductive cough is called

A)laryngitis.
B)laryngotracheobronchitis.
C)epiglottitis.
D)pharyngitis.
E)Vincent's angina.

Accepted Answer

Acute laryngotracheobronchitis, or croup, is a relatively common illness in young children, primarily those younger than 3 years of age. Of significance, croup can represent a potentially more serious disease if the infection extends downward from the larynx to involve the trachea or even the bronchi. Illness is characterized by variable fever, inspiratory stridor, hoarseness, and a harsh, barking, nonproductive cough. These symptoms last for 3 to 4 days, although the cough may persist for a longer period. In young infants, severe respiratory distress and fever are common symptoms. Similar to the etiologic agents of laryngitis, viruses are a primary cause of croup; parainfluenza viruses are the major etiologic agents. In addition to parainfluenza viruses, influenza viruses, respiratory syncytial virus, and adenoviruses can also cause croup. Mycoplasma pneumoniae, rhinoviruses, and enteroviruses can cause a few cases as well.

Question 9

An infection normally called sore throat that presents as erythematous and swollen tissue and is characterized by inflammatory exudates, vesicles, and mucosal ulceration, or by nasopharyngeal lymphoid hyperplasia is called

A)laryngitis.
B)epiglottitis.
C)pharyngitis.
D)Vincent's angina.
E)rhinitis.

Accepted Answer

Pharyngitis, or sore throat, is a common upper respiratory tract infections affecting both children and adults. Infection of the pharynx is associated with pharyngeal pain, red and swollen tissues, and inflammatory exudates, vesicles, and mucosal ulceration. Swollen lymph nodes may be observed.
