Abstract

Infections of uvula have been described in association with group A streptococcal pharyngitis (Rapkin, JAMI, 43, 1980, 1843), or Haemolytic influenzae type b epiglottitis. Medicine (Gorjinkel HJ, 58, 1979, 80) however, to our knowledge, only two cases of isolated uvulitis are reported in world literature. We report five cases of isolated uvulitis in adults.
