摘要：
We report a case of 7-month-old infant girl with severe uvulitis with airway obstruction. Her uvula was erythematous and markedly swollen. Stridor and retraction were noted. The symptoms were resolved after treatment with ampicillin, and a throat swab isolated Group A streptococcus. It is extremely rare in children for uvulitis to cause respiratory distress from airway obstruction. However, in infants with narrow airways, physicians should consider the risk of progression to respiratory distress. (C) 2020 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
