“…Little evidence exists to suggest that either group B or F streptococci are frequent or important causes of pharyngitis. 6,7 The genetic heterogeneity of Lancefield groups C and G streptococci probably has contributed to the lack of consensus on the role(s) of these bacteria as causes of endemic pharyngitis. Lancefield group C streptococci are distinguished morphologically as being large or small colony formers.…”

Pharyngitis is the third most common illness diagnosed by pediatricians in the United States. Group A I~-hemolytic streptococci account for only approximately 30% of episodes of symptomatic pharyngitis. A broad list of other pathogens, including both bacteria and viruses, as well as Toxoplasma gondii and Candida species, are suggested frequently as the pathogens responsible for the remaining 70% of cases. This article reviews the evidence for a causative role of I~-hemolytic streptococci other than Streptococcus pyogenes and other bacteria and viruses in outbreaks and sporadic cases of pharyngitis. Recommendations for the diagnosis and management of pharyngitis caused by pathogens other than S pyogenes are offered. Copyright 9 1998 by W.B. Saunders Company
