    Adult epiglottitis typically resolves with antibiotics. However, one case resistant to antibiotics for three weeks was diagnosed via laryngoscope as laryngeal tuberculosis, rapidly improving with antituberculous therapy.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Pulmonology

    Background:

    • Adult epiglottitis is a critical otolaryngological condition.
    • Prompt antibiotic treatment usually leads to rapid recovery.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with symptoms suggestive of acute epiglottitis.
    • The condition did not improve after three weeks of standard antibiotic therapy.

    Findings:

    • Fiberoptic laryngoscopy with biopsy revealed laryngeal tuberculosis.
    • Antituberculous therapy resulted in dramatic symptom improvement within one week.

    Implications:

    • Laryngeal tuberculosis should be considered in epiglottitis cases unresponsive to antibiotics.
    • Accurate diagnosis through direct laryngoscopy is crucial for effective treatment.
