==Diagnosis==
==[[Epiglottitis classification]]==
Diagnosis is confirmed by direct inspection using [[laryngoscope|laryngoscopy]], although this may provoke airway spasm. The epiglottis and [[arytenoids]] are cherry-red and swollen. The most likely differential diagnostic candidates are [[croup]], [[peritonsillar abscess]], and [[retropharyngeal abscess]].

==[[Epiglottitis risk factors|Risk Factors]]==


==Treatment==
==[[Epiglottitis natural history, complications and prognosis|Natural History, Complications and Prognosis]]==
Epiglottitis requires urgent endotracheal [[intubation]] to protect the airway. Ideally, this should be performed by an experienced [[anesthesiologist]] or [[respiratory therapist]], with [[otolaryngology]] back-up in case of failed intubation. If intubation fails, [[tracheotomy]] is required.
