Acute supraglottitis in adults in Finland: Review and analysis of 308 cases

Abstract: Acute supraglottitis in adults seems to be a different entity than epiglottitis in children, and inflammation does not usually exclusively involve the epiglottis. Early diagnosis seems to decrease the need for airway intervention and to permit the successful treatment of the patient with intravenous antibiotics and corticosteroids. Streptococcus appears as the dominant causative microorganism. However systemic diseases and other local infections that compromise the regional supraglottic immunity may increase t… Show more

“…Cette surincidence est inhabituelle, au vu de ce qui était observé les années précédentes dans le département (0,26/100 000 en 2011 et 0,79/100 000 en 2012 pour les adultes de plus de 20 ans pris en charge aux urgences). La prédominance fortement masculine de notre série est égale-ment moins marquée dans les série précédentes [2,[4][5][6].…”

“…Par ailleurs, l'hypothèse d'une saisonnalité est discutable au vu des données de la littérature (pic en saison hivernale [4,6] ; pic sur la période printemps/été [10]). Enfin, une observation réalisée entre 2000 et 2006 aux Pays-Bas [11] montre une incidence constante des épiglottites non obstructives chez l'adulte mais une augmentation plus importante du nombre d'épiglottite obstructive, telle que nous l'avons constaté dans notre série.…”
