Transmission is by droplet. Germs infiltrate theepithelial layer, then the epithelium is eroded,then the superficial lymphoid tissueinflammatory reaction occurs with thedamming of polymorphonuclear leukocyteinfiltration. In the early stages there ishyperemia and edema and increased
secretions. Serous exudate at first, but tends tobecome thickened and dry and can be attachedto the pharyngeal wall.
