Meningococcal serogroup W135 epiglottitis in an adolescent patient.

Daniela Beltrami¹, Pierre Guilcher², David Longchamp¹, Pierre Alex Crisinel¹.

Abstract

Acute epiglottitis is a severe and potentially life-threatening condition. Since the implementation of Haemophilus influenzae vaccination, the number of cases of epiglottitis has decreased and the proportion of other infectious causes has increased. We report a case of acute epiglottitis in a teenager caused by Neisseria meningitidis, an unusual pathogen. © BMJ Publishing Group Ltd (unless otherwise stated in the text of the article) 2018.
