Epiglottis (more properly supraglottitis) is a potentially life-threatening infection of the supraglottic larynx that is most often caused by Hemophilus influenzae type B (HITB). Intrafamily spread of HITB disease has been described often for meningitis, but is rarely reported in epiglottis. We describe two siblings seen concurrently with HITB epiglottitis and discuss prophylaxis of family members and close contacts.
会厌炎（更确切地说是声门上炎）是一种潜在威胁生命的声门上喉感染，最常见的病因是B型流感嗜血杆菌（HITB）。HITB疾病的家庭内传播在脑膜炎中经常被描述，但在会厌炎中很少有报道。我们描述了同时患有HITB会厌炎的两名兄弟姐妹，并讨论了对家庭成员和密切接触者的预防措施。
