  • Title: Conservative management of adult epiglottitis.
    Author: Wolf M, Strauss B, Kronenberg J, Leventon G.
    Journal: Laryngoscope; 1990 Feb; 100(2 Pt 1):183-5. PubMed ID: 2299960.
    Abstract:
    A 10-year retrospective study of 30 adults suffering from acute epiglottitis is reported. Two clinical forms of onset were noted: gradual and accelerated. Abscess formation was present in 27% of cases. None of the patients required intubation or tracheotomy. In contrast to the accepted interventionist approach in children, conservative management in adults is recommended.
