Abstract EN
An epiglottic abscess is a rare complication of acute epiglottitis and is life threatening.
We describe a case report of a diabetic adult male, who presented with an epiglottic abscess.
Culture results showed Aeromonas hydrophila, an organism rarely reported as a cause of acute epiglottitis.
Early recognition can be lifesaving.
