Group A streptococcus is by far the most common bacterial cause of acute pharyngitis, accounting for approximately 15 to 30 percent of cases in children and 5 to 10 percent of cases in adults.[1] Peak seasons for sore throat include late winter and early spring.4 Transmission of typical viral and GABHS pharyngitis occurs mostly by hand contact with nasal discharge, rather than by oral contact.[2]
Age
Infectious mononucleosis more common in the age group between 15 and 24 years of age.[1]
