Epiglottitis is a life-threatening infection due to Hemophilus influenzae causing respiratory obstruction. Commonly presenting in children under 5 years of age, the obstruction progresses rapidly with associated inspiratory stridor, muffled voice, fever and systemic toxicity. The epiglottis is markedly enlarged on lateral neck X-ray. Once the diagnosis

Adult epiglottitis (or "supraglottitis") is an uncommon but increasingly recognized entity. Though prior studies emphasized the fulminant nature of the disease, recent evidence suggests that epiglottitis in adults may follow a relatively less severe clinical course, especially if Hemophilus influenza is not isolated.

Early diagnosis of acute epiglottitis may be difficult in the child presenting atypically. The cases of four patients who displayed atypical presentation are reported. The initial diagnosis in three children was croup and in one, pharyngitis. In the fourth patient, a child who had coexisting meningitis, epiglottitis was an incidental finding.

Acute epiglottitis is most commonly of bacterial origin. A case of Candida epiglottis in a healthy, nondebilitated patient is reported. A literature search did not produce a previously reported case.

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.

AbstractBackground. Epiglottitis is more commonly seen in children less than 6 years of age, although this entity has also been well described among adults. A coalescence of infection of the epiglottis, or epiglottic abscess, has been infrequently reported in series 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
