Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Epiglottitis is rare, but it can cause significant respiratory obstruction and death. The condition can occur at any age. The patient presents with rapidly developing sore throat, fever, cough, and difficulty swallowing. The patient's voice is muffled, and there is drooling. Stridor and/or varying signs of respiratory distress may be evident. The patient often leans forward while sitting to maximize the airway opening. The patient has a very ill appearance, and gentle palpation over the larynx causes significant pain.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Group A beta-hemolytic streptococcal (GABHS) pharyngitis is a bacterial infection of the pharynx, commonly called strep throat. Complications of GABHS pharyngitis, although rare, include rheumatic heart disease and glomerulonephritis, and the condition requires prompt diagnosis and definitive treatment. Most patients with GABHS pharyngitis are children and youths. Other bacterial causes of pharyngitis include mycoplasmal pneumonia, gonorrhea, and diphtheria.
