This guideline was developed as part of the 2016 Policy Research Servicing Project by the Korea Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention. A multidisciplinary approach was taken to formulate this guideline to provide practical information about the
diagnosis and treatment of adults with acute upper respiratory tract infection, with the ultimate aim to promote the appropriate
use of antibiotics. The formulation of this guideline was based on a systematic literature review and analysis of the latest research
findings to facilitate evidence-based practice, and focused on key questions to help clinicians obtain solutions to clinical
questions that may arise during the care of a patient. This guideline mainly covers the subjects on the assessment of antibiotic
indications and appropriate selection of antibiotics for adult patients with acute pharyngotonsillitis or acute sinusitis.
