    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Pediatric Infectious Diseases
    • Critical Care Medicine

    Background:

    • Bacterial tracheitis is a severe upper airway infection.
    • It classically affects children, presenting with acute airway obstruction.
    • Diagnosis often relies on indirect laryngoscopy and imaging.

    Observation:

    • Indirect laryngoscopy may appear normal in bacterial tracheitis.
    • Roentgenograms can show an irregular tracheal air column.
    • Endoscopic findings include purulent debris, ulcerations, and edema in the subglottic larynx and trachea.

    Findings:

    • This report describes three adult cases of bacterial tracheitis.
    • This condition has not been previously documented in adult patients.
    • Adult bacterial tracheitis shares endoscopic findings with pediatric cases.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the potential for bacterial tracheitis in adults.
    • Suggests considering bacterial tracheitis in adult airway obstruction cases.
    • May necessitate revised diagnostic and treatment protocols for adults.
