Acute uvulitis in adults is a rare condition, especially when associated with acute epiglottitis. Watchful monitoring of the airway, usually in the intensive care unit, is recommended. Along with appropriate antibiotics and steroids, we recommend all patients with acute uvulitis have a lateral radiograph of the neck to rule out acute epiglottitis. To avoid a possible fatality, a high index of suspicion should be maintained at all times in order to appropriately diagnose and treat these patients.
成人急性悬雍垂炎是一种罕见病症，尤其是当它与急性会厌炎相关联时。建议通常在重症监护病房对气道进行密切监测。除使用适当的抗生素和类固醇外，我们建议所有急性悬雍垂炎患者进行颈部侧位X线片检查以排除急性会厌炎。为避免可能的死亡，应始终保持高度怀疑指数，以便对这些患者进行适当的诊断和治疗。
