    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Otolaryngology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Acute epiglottitis poses a significant risk of sudden death in infants.
    • Effective management requires a multidisciplinary approach.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, and complications of acute epiglottitis in infants.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of a long-term multidisciplinary care protocol.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 212 consecutive infant cases of acute epiglottitis.
    • Treatment followed a standardized multidisciplinary protocol initiated in 1974.

    Main Results:

    • Acute epiglottitis continues to be a cause of sudden mortality in infants.
