N R Chahine,

Acute epiglottitis is a dangerous disease which is not often seen in adults. Early diagnosis and medical attention is required. Relief of airway obstruction by intubation or tracheostomy is necessary in most cases. Ampicillin plus Chloramphenicol or only Cefotaxime is administered, pending a report on sensitivities. 3 cases of acute epiglottitis in adults are presented. The management is discussed in view to avoid this disease's possible fatal outcome.
