Abstract

In a group of children with acute, nonstreptococcal pharyngitis, only one (2%) of the 44 children tested showed serologic or direct-immunofluorescence evidence of a recent Chlamydia trachomatis infection. Only two (5%) of the 43 children tested showed serologic evidence of a recent Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. Neither C. trachomatis nor M. pneumoniae appears to be an important cause of acute pharyngitis in children.
