“…may also occur. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]19,20 The fact that our patient had no oropharyngeal, esophageal, or tracheal candidiasis is in support of a primary laryngeal Candida infection that affected the supraglottic region.…”

Among the 15 patients with Candida epiglottitis reported in the English literature, 5 were children; most were immunocompromised due to either malignancy, human immunodeficiency virus infection or autoimmune disorders.…”

Acute epiglottitis by nonbacterial pathogens is an uncommon but life-threatening clinical entity. Herein, we report the concomitant occurrence of Candida epiglottitis and mucosal and visceral Varicella zoster virus infection in a child with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Both infections were atypical in their presentation, occurred in a severely immunocompromised host, and required invasive procedures for diagnosis.

A 21‐year‐old woman with acute lymphocytic leukemia developed clinical and radiographic signs of epiglotitis. Premortem and postmortem histologic studies showed invasive aspergillosis; Aspergillus flavus was grown in culture. The necrotizing nature of this infection is explained by the predilection of Aspergillus sp. for invasion of blood vessels. The usual causative agents of epiglottitis are bacteria; the association with fungal infection has not been previously described.
