摘要：

Invasive laryngeal candidiasis is an uncommon cause of epiglottitis, seen most often in immunocompromised or antibiotic-treated patients. We present the clinical and radiographic findings in an HIV-infected infant who developed significant stridor due to candidal epiglottitis. Stridor or hoarseness of unknown cause in an immunocompromised patient should lead to prompt evaluation for opportunistic laryngeal infection.
