【 摘 要 】

The article provides a literary analysis of the current state of the problem of early diagnosis of tonsillopharyngitis in childhood, namely timely etiological diagnosis of the disease. The questions of etiology, epidemiology, clinical picture, differential diagnosis, paraclinical diagnosis, directions of treatment for tonsillopharyngitis in children were considered. Emphasis was placed on the literature review of the problems and the modern limitations of rapid etiological diagnosis of tonsillitis in children, as well as the principles of efficient antibiotic therapy and disease prevention methods from the standpoint of evidence-based medicine. The paper noted that early detection of streptococcal etiology of tonsillopharyngitis is of particular importance, it allows at the very beginning of the disease to prescribe efficient antibiotic therapy. This will reduce the duration of disease, significantly reduce the risk of early complications and significant reduce the period of contagiousness of the patient, which in turn reduces the likelihood of spreading of streptococcal infection. Gold standard for detection of β-hemolytic streptococcus for the administration of antibiotic therapy is streptotest. Using of express test systems in the clinic of children’s infectious diseases should lead to improved early etiological diagnosis of tonsillopharyngitis in children and thereby contribute to the timely adequate administration of treatment, which ultimately should significantly reduce the risk of complications and contribute to a positive economic effect.
