What Is Acute Tonsillopharyngitis? Tonsillopharyngitis is an abnormal condition wherein the tonsils (lymphoid tissue in the throat) and the lining of the throat becomes infected by bacterial or viral pathogens.
Meanwhile, sore throat or pharyngitis occurs due to inflammation that attacks the throat area. In contrast to tonsillitis, which attacks the tonsillar glands, which act as catchers and exterminators of germs in the respiratory tract.
ICD-10 Coding Tip: Tonsillitis. The tonsils are part of the lymphatic and immunologic system. They act as filters by trapping germs that pass through the nose and mouth. They also produce antibodies that help fight infection. Tonsillitis may be either viral or bacterial.
Tonsillitis may be either viral or bacterial. Streptococcus pyogenes, the bacteria that causes strep throat, is a common bacterial cause of tonsillitis, accounting for approximately 30 percent of tonsillitis in children and 10 percent in adults. Other causes of tonsillitis include adenovirus, influenza virus, and Epstein-Barr virus.
The tonsils are part of the lymphatic and immunologic system. They are oval shaped, pink structures in the back of the throat and act as filters by trapping germs that pass through the nose and mouth. They also produce antibodies that help fight infection. They are the body’s first line of defense, and are similar to lymph nodes located in the neck, groin, and armpits.#N#Tonsillitis may be either viral or bacterial.

Upper respiratory tract infections (URI or URTI) are illnesses caused by an acute infection which involves the upper respiratory tract including the nose, sinuses, pharynx or larynx. This commonly includes tonsillitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis, sinusitis, otitis media, and the common cold.
