Abstract
The epidemiology of sore throats in Malaysia with respect to its prevalence, age-specific incidence, aetiology and complications has not been well studied and documented. In a 1984 hospital-based study involving three general hospitals in Kuala Lumpur, Kota Baru and Ipoh, acute respiratory infections (ARIs) were responsible for 44.1% of all paediatric (1). In a later study in 1996, the prevalence fo ARIs in the preceding 2 weeks in children below 5 years was 39.3%, of which 91% of the cases were upper respiratory tract infections (URTI).
