    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Acute epiglottitis is a serious upper airway infection primarily affecting children.
    • Bacterial pathogens, particularly *Haemophilus influenzae*, are the main causative agents.
    • Understanding causative organisms and effective management is crucial for patient outcomes.
