Peaks in online inquiries into pharyngitis-related symptoms correspond with annual incidence rates	2020-09-23		.txt	text/plain	3713	216	48	OBJECTIVE: To assess whether web-based public inquiries into pharyngitis-related search terms follow annual incidence peaks of acute pharyngitis in various countries from both hemispheres. Considering that the vast majority of teenagers and adults use the World Wide Web to acquire health-related information, we hypothesized that peaks in web-based internet searches for pharyngitis-related symptoms might also follow the global incidence rates of this condition. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess web-based public interest for acute pharyngitis and related-terms for seasonal variations globally. To assess and illustratively depict seasonal variations of global RSV for pharyngitis-related search terms, we included countries from both hemispheres. The current study revealed winter peaks in World Wide Web inquiries for pharyngitis-related terms in countries from both hemispheres. Therefore, it is crucial to provide reliable, easily accessible, and publicly available online information on diagnosis, treatment, and red-flag symptoms of usually self-limiting medical conditions such as acute pharyngitis.	./cache/cord-294955-bybdn9yb.txt	./txt/cord-294955-bybdn9yb.txt
