    Membranous laryngotracheobronchitis (MLTB) involves inflammation with adhered membranes in the airway. This condition in children often requires intubation and antibiotics, potentially stemming from bacterial superinfection after a viral illness.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Pulmonology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Otolaryngology

    Context:

    • Membranous laryngotracheobronchitis (MLTB) is a rare but serious airway inflammatory condition.
    • It affects the larynx, trachea, and bronchi, characterized by mucopurulent membranes.
    • Radiological findings include proximal tracheal mucosal irregularity and foreign body-like membranes.

    Purpose:

    • To present four pediatric cases of membranous laryngotracheobronchitis (MLTB).
    • To describe the clinical presentation, radiological features, and microbiological findings.
    • To differentiate MLTB from viral laryngotracheobronchitis and explore potential etiologies.

    Summary:

    • Four children with MLTB required nasotracheal intubation and antibiotics.
    • Cultures revealed Staphylococcus aureus and beta-lactamase positive Haemophilus influenzae.

  • Two patients had preceding measles, and one had staphylococcal pleuropneumonia.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the distinct characteristics of MLTB compared to viral laryngotracheobronchitis.
    • Suggests a potential role for bacterial superinfection in the pathogenesis of MLTB.
    • Informs clinical management strategies for this severe pediatric airway condition.
