Smallpox Pharyngeal

Smallpox pharyngo-palatine is an inflammatory disease of the area of ​​the velopharyngeal ring and the mucous membrane of the oropharynx.

This is an acute viral infectious disease that is transmitted by airborne droplets. In addition, you can get this infection from a person who has already had it in the past. The incubation period of the disease ranges from several days to a week. The clinical picture of the disease is characterized by the appearance of catarrhal phenomena in the pharynx (pain, sore throat, redness in the throat), as well as signs of ARVI (such as increased body temperature, chills, etc.). An important difference between pharyngeal smallpox and a viral infection is the presence of hemorrhagic elements in the clinical picture. These may be hemorrhages on the tonsil, on the back wall of the pharynx and on the soft palate. There are also cases of blistering-type rash formation.
