Epiglottitis linked to e-cigarette use

Researchers recently published a case report in the journal Pediatrics that attributed a teenaged girl's epiglottitis to her use of electronic cigarettes.
“This unusual case adds to a growing list of toxic effects attributable to vaping,” says Kathleen Ferrer, M.D., a hospitalist at Children’s National and the case report’s senior author. “While we normally investigate infectious triggers, like Streptococci, Staphylococci and Haemophilus, we and other health care providers should also consider e-cigarettes as we evaluate oro-respiratory complaints.”
