The patterns are built with the help of available data to foresee the future incidence of pharyngitis.
The APNs have been examining the cases of pharyngitis very closely over the years based on their skill and advanced knowledge. They have found several cases to be very discrete and rare, where many patients uniquely developed pharyngitis.

This argument is based on the studies that outline the fact about streptococcal pharyngitis which cannot be differentiated from non-streptococcal pharyngitis based on the physical examination of the patients.
