“…This study showed that the prevalence of GAS was 9% in patients. Similar studies conducted by Bista et al (2005), Shrestha et al (2006), Rijal et al (2009) and Gurung et al (2010) showed the prevalence of GAS being 18%, 58.8%, 9.2% and 5% respectively. However, in the present study more samples were obtained from adults of age >15 years.…”

Respiratory tract infection is one of the major reasons of patients seeking medical care. Among infections pharangitis is most common in the upper respiratory tract, which is seen most frequently in children and adolescents and less frequently among adults. The objective of this study was to analyze the underlying bacterial pathogens in pharyngitis cases and antibiotic susceptibility of various isolates. During February to August, 2010, a total of 134 patients visiting E.N.T. OPD of Bir Hospital complaining sore throat were studied. The throat swabs of the patients were cultured in 5.0% sheep blood agar plates and incubated at 37 0 C for 24-48 hrs. Clear transparent β-haemolytic colonies of the germs were selected and identified. Group A streptococcus was identified by β-haemolytic colonies with bacitracin and penicillin sensitivity, gram staining, catalase negativity and growth on crystal violet blood agar.In this study, 23 (17.2%) patients were positive for β-haemolytic streptococci. Among them, 12 (9%) were identified as Group A streptococcus. The culture positive for BHS was highest (56.5%) among the age group of 21-40 years.Pathogens other than β-haemolytic streptococci were isolated from 9 patients, of which 4 cases showed mixed bacterial growth. Other bacterial isolates reported in the study were Staphylococcus aureus 6 (4.5%), Klebsiella pneumoniae 5 (3.7%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa 2 (1.5%), Citrobacter freundii 1 (0.7%), and yeast cells 1 (0.7%).It was found that infections caused by β-haemolytic streptococci was significantly higher p=0.0084 i.e. (p<0.05) than infections caused by other bacteria. This study demonstrated that young adults of age group 21-40 were affected by streptococcal pharyngitis. The isolates of GAS were 100% sensitive to amoxycillin, cephalexin, cefotaxime, ciprofloxacin and azithromycin followed by cotrimoxazole (91.7%) and erythromycin (91.7%).

“…The most common organism isolated in our study from both surface and core is Staphylococcus Aureus(27.2%) followed by Streptococcus Pneumoniae(18.1%). In Abhay Kumar et al 9 it was Staphylococcus Aureus followed by GABHS.Bista M et al 10 showed Streptpcoccus viridians and Streptococcus In this study among the 73.3% pathogens a significant 54.54% were found only in tonsil core .Abhay Kumar et al 9 showed an overall variance in surface culture as to the presence or absence of core pathogens in 58% of cases. Mustafa Gul et al 11 found the difference to be 59.4%.…”

Tonsillitis is the inflammation of tonsil caused by bacteria, viruses, as well as infectious and non-infectious causes. Exposure of dust and air polution, some types of food, poor oral hygne, weather, and physical exhaustion become the predisposing factors of chronic tonsillitis. Long summer increases the number of dust particles which trigger the occurence of infection. This study was aimed to obtain the throat health status of students of SD Inpres Kema 3 (elementary school students) who lived in coastal areas. This was a descriptive prospective study by examining the students’ throats (size, surface, as well as tonsil and pharynx color). Subjects were 24 students of 6 th grade at SD Inpres Kema 3. The results showed that most of the subjects had pathological tonsil size. Moreover, some of them had granule hypertrophy. Conclusion: The throat health status of the students at SD Inpres Kema 3 was categorized as unfavorable.Key words: throat health statusAbstrak: Tonsilitis adalah radang tonsil yang disebabkan oleh bakteri, viru, dan penyebab infeksi maupun non-infeksi lainnya. Paparan debu dan polusi udara, beberapa jenis makanan, kebersihan mulut yang buruk, serta pengaruh cuaca dan kelelahan fisik menjadi faktor predisposisi dari tonsilitis kronik. Musim kemarau panjang yang mengakibatkan bertambahnya partikel debu di udara memicu terjadinya infeksi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran kesehatan tenggorok pada siswa SD Inpres Kema 3 yang tinggal di daerah pesisir pantai. Jenis penelitian ialah deskriptif prospektif dengan melihat gambaran tenggorok dari segi ukuran, permukaan dan warna tonsil serta faring. Subjek penelitian ialah siswa kelas VI SD Inpres Kema 3 yang berjumlah 24 orang. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pada pemeriksaan ditemukan sebagian besar subyek penelitian memiliki ukuran tonsil yang patologik dan beberapa diantaranya memiliki granula hipertrofi. Simpulan: Kesehatan tenggorok siswa SD Inpres Kema 3 tergolong kurang baik.Kata kunci: kesehatan tenggorok
