Overview
Classification
Epiglottitis may be classified according to the etiology, and disease duration as follows:
Infectious epiglottitis
Infectious epiglottitis is a soft tissue swelling of epiglottis,[1] and the surrounding structures example; plica aryepiglottica , arytenoids, sinus piriformis and vestibular folds usually caused by bacteria and occasionally viruses.[2] Infctious epiglottitis may be subclassified into:
Bacteria epiglottitis
Viral epiglottitis
Fungal epiglottitis
Fungi are rare cause of epiglottitis. Notably among them are aspergillus spp and candida albicans[3]
Noninfectious epiglottitis
This includes all other factors resulting in the development of epiglottitis aside pathogenic organism. These include trauma from foreign objects inhalation and chemical burns[3]
