Explanation:
I would translate the passage as follows:

Selected response from:

Grading comment
Thank you for your answer. Since the diagnosis is on 3 different lines in the original document, I have decided to translate as follows:
-RESPIRATORY INFECTION OF THE UPPER TRACTS
-ACUTE PHARYNGOAMYGDALITIS
-VIRAL INFECTION
I hope that would be OK...

Thanks for your suggestion anyway.
All the best,
Franco Metayer

  -> Famous nutritionist Adelle Davis ( USA) uses the term VIRUS INFECTIONS. :)))Sorry.

viral infection


Explanation:
virosis in spanish

upper respiratory infection/pharyngotonsilitis/viral infection

(note: amigdalitis in english is false cognate)

by the way it's written, the pharyngotonsilitis and viral infection are two separate clinical signs, not one and the same
