AbstractAlthough upper airway obstruction and superimposed infection are well-known complications of infectious mononucleosis, lingual tonsillitis in this context has not been mentioned in the literature. We describe a case of acute bacterial lingual tonsillitis with airway obstruction complicating infectious mononucleosis. The role of the base of tongue region in the pathophysiology of infectious mononucleosis is discussed.

Hemophilus Influenzae

Epiglottitis, along with other infectious croup syndromes (laryngotracheitis and spasmodic croup), are illnesses which cause acute upper airway obstruction. They are discussed in terms of etiology, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment. Cellulitis and the role of Hemophilus influenzae and antibiotic therapy are also described.

Life Threatening Event

Twenty-five patients were screened following an acute life-threatening event for the presence of obstructive and mixed apnea. Simultaneous cardiorespiratory monitoring with fiberoptic laryngoscopy was performed to identify the site of upper airway obstruction during these episodes. In 3 of these subjects, who had been born prematurely, obstruction was observed at the laryngeal level, with the arytenoid masses and aryepiglottic folds closing over across the vocal cords. Such closure was also observed during periodic breathing, which was found to be prominent in 4 of the infants studied. The possible role of laryngeal reflexes as a mechanism for these events is discussed.
