Résumé
Acute epiglottitis is a local bacterial infection of the supraglottic area. Epiglottitis is generally caused by organisms which invoke an inflammatory response that develops rapid obstructive edema. The disease rarely progresses to abscess stage, either because medical intervention is sought or death by asphyxiation ensues. A 38-year-old, mentally ill but physically healthy woman died of airway obstruction caused by acute epiglottitis forming an abscess. She died unexpectedly and suddenly showing only minor nonspecific symptoms.

Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is a bacterial infection of ascites arising from liver cirrhosis, nephrotic syndrome and so on. Primary bacterial peritonitis (PBP) is a rare intraabdomial infection in the absence of underlying diseases or rupture of the viscus. The authors report an autopsy case of posttraumatic primary bacterial peritonitis in the otherwise physically healthy young female. She was beaten repeatedly around the abdomen with human physical instruments for a prolonged time.
