Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Infectious Diseases
  • Critical Care Medicine
  • Otolaryngology

Context:

  • Croup is a common pediatric respiratory illness.
  • Bacterial tracheitis (BT) is a rare but serious complication of croup.
  • This study examines the incidence and characteristics of BT in children admitted with croup.

Purpose:

  • To determine the incidence of bacterial tracheitis in children admitted with croup.
  • To describe the clinical features and management of bacterial tracheitis.
  • To highlight the importance of suspecting BT in croup cases requiring intubation.

Summary:

  • Bacterial tracheitis occurred in 1.3% of children admitted with croup.
  • Children with BT often presented with typical croup symptoms but required intubation due to tracheal pus.

  • Intubated patients needed frequent suctioning; antibiotic therapy was administered, with one fatality from secondary complications.

    • Impact:

    • Bacterial tracheitis should be suspected in croup cases necessitating intubation.
    • Close pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) monitoring and tracheal suctioning are vital post-intubation.
    • Prompt antibiotic therapy may be beneficial in managing bacterial tracheitis.
