Epiglottitis is supraglottic inflammation of the oropharynx caused by infective, thermal, or caustic insult. Rapid swelling of the epiglottis results in airway obstruction and asphyxia. Widespread use of HiB vaccination in children has resulted in a reduction in childhood cases of epiglottitis.

Seventy-five patient-episodes of adult epiglottitis were analyzed retrospectively. Six tracheotomies were performed, and no deaths occurred. In a large subset of patients, viral pathogenesis was suggested by benign clinical courses that included normal or mildly elevated temperatures and minimally elevated leukocyte counts with relative lymphocytosis ...

Epiglottic Dysfunction: Abnormal Epiglottic Movement Patterns
Dysphagia, 2002Epiglottic movement patterns of 500 consecutive patients with varying etiologies were recorded during routine videofluoroscopic swallow evaluations. Seven distinct, commonly repeated, abnormal epiglottic patterns were identified. A multifactorial analysis of these seven abnormal epiglottic movement patterns was completed. Findings indicate that each of

A systematic review and meta‐analysis of predictors of airway intervention in adult epiglottitis
The Laryngoscope, 2019Epiglottitis is typically considered a pediatric disease; however, there is growing evidence that the incidence of adult epiglottitis has changed since the introduction of the Haemophilus influenzae vaccine.
