    Acute infectious uvulitis, a rare condition, can occur with epiglottitis. Streptococcus pneumoniae was identified in one case, highlighting the need to suspect epiglottitis in patients with severe uvular swelling.

    Area of Science:

    • Infectious Diseases
    • Otolaryngology

    Background:

    • Acute infectious uvulitis is an uncommon clinical presentation.
    • Epiglottitis is a serious condition requiring prompt diagnosis and management.

    Observation:

    • A case of acute infectious uvulitis caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae in a 56-year-old woman is presented.
    • This patient also exhibited coexisting epiglottitis.

    Findings:

    • Literature review reveals one prior case associating uvulitis with acute epiglottitis.
    • Streptococcus pneumoniae identified as a causative agent for infectious uvulitis.

    Implications:

    • The co-occurrence of uvulitis and epiglottitis suggests a potential link between these conditions.
    • Physicians should consider epiglottitis in patients presenting with acute, painful uvular swelling due to potentially life-threatening complications.
