Pharyngitis: Causes and incidence
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))

Pharyngitis is usually caused by a virus. The most common bacterial cause is group A beta-hemolytic streptococci. Other common causes include Mycoplasma and Chlamydia. In up to 30% of cases, no organism is identified.

Pharyngitis is widespread among adults who live or work in dusty or very dry environments, use their voices excessively, habitually use tobacco or alcohol, or suffer from chronic sinusitis, persistent coughs, or allergies.

About prevalence and incidence statistics:

The term 'prevalence' of DiGeorge's syndrome usually refers to the estimated population of people who are managing DiGeorge's syndrome at any given time. The term 'incidence' of DiGeorge's syndrome refers to the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of DiGeorge's syndrome diagnosed each year. Hence, these two statistics types can differ: a short-lived disease like flu can have high annual incidence but low prevalence, but a life-long disease like diabetes has a low annual incidence but high prevalence. For more information see about prevalence and incidence statistics.
