摘要：
A 4-year-old boy developed epiglottitis with fever, sore throat and inspiratory stridor over the course of an afternoon. By direct epiglottic culture group G Streptococcus was identified as the pathogen. The presentation and clinical course of epiglottitis caused by each of the beta-hemolytic streptococcal pathogens is similar, and each is very different from Haemophilus influenzae type b disease.
