Sore throat is the most common complaint of patients presenting to various clinical specialists. The most common causes of sore throat are infectious agents. Importantly, the inflammatory response may be initiated by not only classic pathogens but also representatives of the normal microflora of the oro- and hypopharynx which become pathogenic as a result of reduction of local resistance factors.
