Acute epiglottitis is rare in adolescents. Respiratory compromise may not occur early. Physicians should consider this diagnosis in their adolescent patients who complain of pain and dysphagia, with or without visible pharyngitis. Airway maintenance is paramount. The antibiotic used should include coverage for Hemophilus influenzae, type B. The case presented here illustrates these points.
急性会厌炎在青少年中较为罕见。呼吸功能不全可能不会早期出现。对于主诉疼痛和吞咽困难、无论有无明显咽炎的青少年患者，医生应考虑这一诊断。气道维护至关重要。所使用的抗生素应包括对B型流感嗜血杆菌的覆盖。本文所呈现的病例说明了这些要点。
