Acute epiglottitis (supraglottitis).

During an autopsy the clinician, as well as the pathologist, should insist on a culture and adequate examination of the neck. Failure to examine the neck structures in this catastrophic illness may result in an incorrect determination of the cause of death [12,13]. Many autopsy surgeons assume pneumonia is present but later find only microscopic evidence of pulmonary edema. By then the decedent has been buried. Untreated fatalities are seldom reported [3,5,14]. Future reports should include statistics from the medical examiner's or coroner's office in their jurisdiction. This will promote knowledge of the true incidence of acute epiglottitis.
