We report a case of acute meningococcal epiglottitis in a 65-y-old man. He was noted to have strider of acute onset. We highlight the importance of the diagnosis of acute epiglottitis, early establishment of an airway and appropriate antibiotic therapy. This case report mainly concerns the association of unusual pathogen Neisseria meningitidis and adult acute epiglottitis.
