Pak J Otolaryngol Jan ;21(2):44-5.

After the introduction of Hib vaccine the incidence of acute epiglottitis is getting very rare in children. In adults it was already very rare. We describe a case of acute epiglottitis in an adult patient who presented during the late night hours with the complaints of severe throat pain & dysphagia. He was not only promptly diagnosed but was successfully managed in the intermediate care unit.
