Synonyms and keywords: Fever and sore throat; sore throat fever; sore throat and fever; Sore throat fever

The most important differential diagnosis for disease that cause fever and sore throat at the same time are summarized in table below:
Disease/Variable Presentation Causes Imaging finding Treatment
Upper respiratory tract infection _ Symptomatic therapy:
Peritonsillar abscess[1][2][3][4][5][2][3][6][7][8][9] On ultrasound peritonsillar abscess appears as focal irregularly marginated hypoechoic area. Ampicillin-sulbactam, Clindamycin, Vancomycin or Linezolid
Croup Steeple sign on neck X-ray Dexamethasone and nebulised epinephrine
Epiglottitis[10][11] Thumbprint sign on neck x-ray Airway maintenance, parenteral Cefotaxime or Ceftriaxone in combination with Vancomycin. Adjuvant therapy includes corticosteroids and racemic Epinephrine.
Pharyngitis

streptococcus

_ Antimicrobial therapy mainly penicillin-based and analgesics.
Tonsilitis [12][13][14][15] Intraoral or transcutaneous USG may show an abscess making CT scan unnecessary. Primarily affects children

between 5 and 15 years old.

Diphtheria
  • Myocarditis
  • Sore throat
  • Malaise
  • Cervical lymphadenopathy,
  • Low-grade fever
  • Paryngitis with or without pseudomembrane
  • Systemic toxicity
  • Facial paralysis to total paralysis
  • C. diphtheriae
  • Rarely  Corynebacterium species


 X-ray: Diphtheria antitoxin

Antibiotics may help in disease prevention
