ICD-11 code : CA09;
Preferred Label : Chronic rhinitis, nasopharyngitis or pharyngitis;
ICD-11 definition : The pathological condition of chronic rhinitis is a continuation of persistent inflammation
on nasal turbinate mucosae, which is induced by microbial infection, irritation with
inhaled substances and abnormal structure of nasal cavity. This condition induces
nasal obstruction and increased nasal discharge. Pharyngitis is an inflammation of
whole pharyngeal mucosa and lymphatic tissues and its acute symptoms are a part of
the common cold symptoms. Although viral infection is the primary cause, it is also
caused by bacterial infections. The discomfort of throat, throat pain and swallowing
pain occur. Headache, general fatigueness, radiating pain to the ear and a cervical
lymphadenitis also occur. Local finding demonstrates hyperemic palatine tonsils and
swelling of lymphoid follicles of posterior wall of pharynx. Chronic pharyngitis can
be considered as a consequence of acute pharyngitis or effect of continuous stimuli,
with symptoms of abnormal sensation of throat, discomfort, and foreign body sensation.;
