The role of enteroviruses in childhood pharyngitis was investigated using enteroviral specific reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Viral/bacterial throat swabs were taken from 50 children with acute pharyngitis and 26 controls. A positive culture was identified in only 26% of children with pharyngitis (adenovirus 10%, group A streptococci 2%), and none of the controls. Enteroviral RT-PCR was positive in 8% of the pharyngitis group and none of the controls. Enteroviruses are an important cause of pharyngitis in childhood.
采用肠道病毒特异性逆转录聚合酶链反应（RT-PCR）研究肠道病毒在儿童咽炎中的作用。从50例急性咽炎患儿和26例对照者中采集咽喉部病毒/细菌拭子。仅26%的咽炎患儿培养结果呈阳性（腺病毒10%，A组链球菌2%），而对照者均为阴性。8%的咽炎组患儿肠道病毒RT-PCR结果呈阳性，对照者均为阴性。肠道病毒是儿童咽炎的一个重要病因。
