Pathophysiology Of Epiglottitis. The pathogenesis of necrotizing epiglottitis involves the infection with cmv or ebv usually in immunocompromised people. Epiglottitis is a potentially life threatening condition that occurs when the epiglottis a small cartilage lid that covers your windpipe wells blocking the flow of air into your lungs. A number of factors can cause the epiglottis to swell burns from hot liquids direct injury to your throat and various infections. Epiglottitis also termed supraglottitis or epiglottiditis is an inflammation of structures above the insertion of the glottis and is most often caused by bacterial infection.
A number of factors can cause the epiglottis to swell burns from hot liquids direct injury to your throat and various infections. Cmv and ebv modulate the host s immune defense facilitating immune evasion and thereby predisposing the patient to a superimposed infections.
