title: [Chronic pharyngitis and macrolides].
abstract: We have noticed that macrolides can improve the main symptoms of many patients with chronic pharyngitis. We feel that the efficacy of macrolides for chronic pharyngitis can be due to the anti-inflammatory effect of this group of antibiotics. However, we think that at present the use of macrolides is not the therapy of choice for chronic pharyngitis.
