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.
Background: Eosinophilic Chronic Rhinosinusitis (ECRS) is clinically characterized by extensive disease and poor prognosis.Objectives: To evaluate eosinophilic mucin in Chronic Rhinosinusitis (CRS). Design: A Retrospective Study.Setting: Bahrain Defence Force Royal Medical Services, Bahrain.Methods: Fifty-nine patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps were included in the study. Clinical data, CT findings and histopathology were documented.Results: Twenty-six (44.1%) patients were diagnosed with eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis (ECRS) with nasal polyps. Headache, bilateral nasal polyps, total sinus opacification and occluded ostiomeatal complex were more common in patients with ECRS compared to patients with noneosinophilic CRS. P-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Bull 2017; 39(2): 92 -95 Conclusion: Patients with ECRS are likely to have severe disease presentation compared to patients with non-eosinophilic CRS. Clinical findings could differentiate ECRS from noneosinophilic CRS. Bahrain Med
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
