Changes in the concepts regarding epiglottis have occurred over the last two decades. Supraglottis, once thought to occur exclusively in the pediatric population, is now recognized in adults. Supraglottis is a well-defined syndrome usually caused by a bacterial infection by Haemophilus influenzae type B. Recently, other organisms have been implicated as etiologic agents in cases of supraglottitis. Documented viral supraglottitis is very rare, and adult supraglottitis due to herpes simplex virus-I has not been reported to our knowledge.
在过去二十年里，关于会厌的概念发生了变化。声门上炎曾被认为仅发生于儿童群体，现在在成人中也得到了认识。声门上炎是一种定义明确的综合征，通常由B型流感嗜血杆菌的细菌感染引起。最近，其他微生物也被认为是声门上炎病例的病原体。有记录的病毒性声门上炎非常罕见，据我们所知，尚未有因单纯疱疹病毒-I引起成人声门上炎的报道。
