title: Acute nasopharyngitis in adults: an independent clinical entity?
abstract: Acute adult nasopharyngitis may exist as an independent clinical entity without preceding or following symptoms and signs of the usual and common upper respiratory tract infections. Three representative cases with color photographs are presented to support this conclusion. Routine endoscopic nasopharyngoscopy allows a better understanding of this uncommon nasopharyngeal and other disorders.
