Overview
Pharyngitis can be classified based on the duration as acute pharyngitis or chronic pharyngitis. Additionally, pharyngitis may be classified broadly according to the causative agent as infectious or non-infectious.
Classification
Pharyngitis is a type of inflammation, most commonly caused by an upper respiratory tract infection. It may be classified as acute or chronic.
- Acute pharyngitis may be catarrhal, purulent or ulcerative, depending on the causative agent and the immune capacity of the affected individual.
- Chronic pharyngitis may be catarrhal, hypertrophic or atrophic.
Pharyngitis can be classified according to the causative agent.[1][2]
| Classification of pharyngitis | |
|---|---|
| Infectious pharyngitis | Non infectious pharyngitis |
