title: Pseudomonal supraglottitis occurring in a patient with profound neutropenia secondary to virus-associated haemophagocytic syndrome.
abstract: We present a case of virus-associated haemophagocytic syndrome following Epstein-Barr virus infection in which a fulminant pseudomonal supraglottitis developed. Increasingly, unusual pathogens have been found in immunocompromised patients. This is the first reported case of pseudomonal supraglottitis.
