[Acute epiglottitis].
The experience in treating 5 patients with acute epiglottitis at our Clinic, from 1986-1989, has been presented. The importance of setting an on-time diagnosis and the application of Urbason therapy has been pointed out. We have indicated the specification of this disease, which is a potentially fatal epiglottidean and supraglottic inflammation. All of these cases were successfully solved by suitable antibiotic and Urbason therapy without preliminary tracheotomy or intubation.
