Abstract

A thermal epiglottitis after feeding hot food is a rare event in infancy. A 3 month old infant developed typical symptoms of an acute epiglottitis after feeding him hot vegetables. The child was intubated and treated with steroids and antibiotics. A laryngo-tracheobronchoscopy was performed. After 48 h he was extubated.
