    AbstractAcute uvulitis in adults is a rare condition, especially when associated with acute epiglottitis. Watchful monitoring of the airway, usually in the intensive care unit, is recommended. Along with appropriate antibiotics and steroids, we recommend all patients with acute uvulitis have a lateral radiograph of the neck to rule out acute epiglottitis. To avoid a possible fatality, a high index of suspicion should be maintained at all times in order to appropriately diagnose and treat these patients.
