Epiglottitis has become less common since the introduction and widespread use of the Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib) vaccine. This reduction in cases has shifted demographics of the disease from the pediatric population towards adults with comorbid conditions. Interestingly there is a high degree of overlap between many of the comorbidities between epiglottitis and COVID-19. The novel severe acute respiratory syndrome\u2014coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), also referred to as coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19), has been reported to affect the gastrointestinal tract and neural tissue and has been implicated in necrotizing encephalitis. We report the first known case of the novel SARS-CoV-2 virus presenting with acute epiglottitis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjaa280","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,9]],"date-time":"2020-07-09T19:09:39Z","timestamp":1594321779000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["COVID-19 infection presenting with acute epiglottitis"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"2020","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3649-2687","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alexander","family":"Fondaw","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"General Surgery, AMITA Health Saint Joseph Hospital, Chicago, IL 60657, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Muzamil","family":"Arshad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Internal Medicine, AMITA Health Saint Joseph Hospital, Chicago, IL 60657, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Saba","family":"Batool","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Internal Medicine, AMITA Health Saint Joseph Hospital, Chicago, IL 60657, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8189-543X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Brenton","family":"Robinson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"General Surgery, AMITA Health Saint Joseph Hospital, Chicago, IL 60657, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Toral","family":"Patel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Internal Medicine, AMITA Health Saint Joseph Hospital, Chicago, IL 60657, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"2020090719534818900_ref1","volume-title":"Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19): Epidemiology, virology, clinical features, diagnosis, and prevention","author":"McIntosh","year":"2020"},{"key":"2020090719534818900_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2072","DOI":"10.1002\/lary.25114","article-title":"Factors associated with severe epiglottitis in adults: analysis of a Japanese inpatient database","volume":"125","author":"Suzuki","year":"2015","journal-title":"Laryngoscope"},{"key":"2020090719534818900_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"465","DOI":"10.1038\/s41586-020-2196-x","article-title":"Virological assessment of hospitalized patients with COVID-2019","volume":"581","author":"W\u00f6lfel","year":"2020","journal-title":"Nature"},{"key":"2020090719534818900_ref4","volume-title":"Epiglottitis (Supraglottitis).
