We describe a 7-year-old boy who developed acute, airway-threatening, non-infectious
epiglottitis
following high-dose cytosine arabinoside and total body irradiation preparative regimen for allogeneic
BMT
. Unlike gastrointestinal symptoms and oropharyngeal mucositis, acute
epiglottitis
is a previously unreported early complication following allogeneic
BMT
preparation. The pathogenesis of
epiglottitis
in our patient was presumably multifactorial, resulting from the combination of chemotherapy and irradiation. We recommend that this diagnosis be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with significant upper airway symptoms following
BMT
preparation.
