AB Pharyngitis  is  an  inflammation  and  commonly  an  infection  of  the  pharynx  and  its  lymphoid  tissues.  Viral  causes  account  for  90%  of  all  cases.  Group  A  β-hemolytic  streptococci  (GABHS)  are  responsible  for  up  to  50%  of  bacterial  infections.  Other  bacterial  causes  include  other  streptococci,  M  pneumoniae,  Neisseria  gonorrhoeae,  and  Corynebacterium  diphtheriae.  In  immunocompromised  patients  and  patients  on  antibiotics,  Candida  species  can  cause  thrush.
