 Acute epiglottitis in childhood is caused commonly by infection of haemophilus influenzae type b and is a life-threatening disorder. We have experienced 3 children with acute epiglottitis in recent 2 years. Of those,two children were cured with prompt airway protection and intensive medical treatment with intravenous injection of antibiotics and steroid. However,one child developed brain death by dyspnea and then died with following MOF. Because emergent airway protection and intensive medical treatment bring the better result of life saving,team treatment with otolaryngologists,pediatricians,anesthesiologists is mandatory. Clinicians should make every effort for early diagnosis and prompt management of this disease until Hib vaccine is used routinely in children.
