Acute epiglottitis in the adult. Retrospective study of 14 cases
2000
: Acute epiglottitis instead of been a well recognised disease in children, is a rare condition in adult patients. Failure to diagnose epiglottitis early, in adults, undoubtedly contributes to its continuing mortality. We report our experience with acute epiglottitis in grown-up people with a retrospective series of 14 patients seen in our Department from 1993 to 1997. We comment about clinical features and therapeutic management of these patients.
