Overview
Tracheitis means inflammation of the trachea. It is a rare disease. Tracheitis appeared in medical history in 1920s. It was commonly named as acute laryngotracheobronchitis, non diphtherial laryngitis with marked exudates, bacterial croup, pseudomembranous croup, purulent tracheobronchitis and membranous laryngotracheobronchitis. It was not until 1979, when Jones et al reported case series on bacterial tracheitis in children. It was then recognized as an infectious disease of the trachea, involving bacteria either as a primary or as a secondary source of infection. [1] [2]
