摘要：

Epiglottitis has been mainly associated with childhood infection with Haemophilis influence type B but cases of adult epiglottitis are increasing. We report here a case of adult epiglottitis and present evidence that it was caused by Staphylococcus aureus. A 48-year old patient with clinical symptoms of epiglottitis grew Staphylococcus aureus in pure culture from an epiglottal swab. Staphylococcus aureus should be considered as a potential pathogen in adult epiglottitis.
