Overview
Classification
Epiglottitis may be classified according to the etiology, and disease duration as follows:
Infectious epiglottitis
Infectious epiglottitis is a soft tissue swelling of epiglottis,[1] and the surrounding structures example; plica aryepiglottica , arytenoids, sinus piriformis and vestibular folds.[2] Understading the pathogenesis of epiglottitis involves a good knowlegde of the causative organisms. The only known reservoirs for H. influenzae in humans include:[3]
Noninfectious epiglottitis
