Diseases of the ear, throat and nose (otolaryngology)

Tuberculosis infection of the pharynx is a relatively rare phenomenon, occurring in most cases during a severe, advanced process in the lungs and larynx against the background of a sharp weakening of the general and local resistance of the body.

Trichinellosis of the pharynx, like mycosis, is a parasitic disease of the pharynx, although the parasite itself belongs to the class of helminths from the nematode group. The disease is generally characterized by fever, damage to muscles, skin, mucous membrane of the upper respiratory tract, and in severe cases - internal organs and the central nervous system.

Candidiasis is a mycosis of the skin and mucous membranes, nails, internal organs, caused by yeast-like fungi of the genus Candida, in particular, C. albicans. The development of candidiasis is facilitated by hypoparathyroidism, a disorder of carbohydrate metabolism associated with hypofunction of the pancreas, disorders of the protein-forming function of the liver, intestinal dysbacteriosis

If in the first half of the 20th century syphilis of the pharynx was extremely rare, then in the last decade of the last century and at the beginning of the 21st century the number of this localization of syphilis has been steadily growing, as has the total number of genital forms of this venereal disease. Due to the large morphological diversity of tissues that make up the pharynx, its lesions by syphilis are distinguished by a number of features that are not inherent in other localizations of this disease.
