The most common bacterial cause of a sore throat is the streptococcus bacterium, which causes the serious condition strep throat.
Five to 10% of adult sore throats are caused by streptococcus infection.
Strep infection is involved in 15 to 40% of sore throats in children.
Strep throat should be diagnosed as quickly as possible because of the serious complications that can develop if left untreated. These include rheumatic fever, which can damage the heart, and acute nephritis, which can damage the kidneys; both can be fatal.
The onset of strep throat is characterised by sudden high fever and a severe sore throat.
The bacterium responsible for scarlet fever, a strep-related illness, can also cause pharyngitis.
Micro-organisms such as the yeast candida can produce a sore throat.
A sore throat can also result from exposure through oral sex to the bacterium that causes gonorrhoea.
