Overview
Common risk factors in the development of tracheitis include pediatric age group, prior viral upper respiratory tract infection, mechanical ventilation and immunocompromised state. [1] [2]
Risk Factors
The individuals most likely to be affected are between 2-10 years of age. Staphylococcus Aureus is the most commonly cultured organism on tracheal aspirate. Mechanical ventilation allows easy colonization of the trachea by bacteria and cause tracheitis. Invasive fungal infections commonly develop among immunocompromised individuals and can cause tracheitis. [3] [4] [2] [5] [6]
Common Risk Factors
- Common risk factors in the development of tracheitis include:
- Paediatric age group (because their airways are smaller)
- Viral upper respiratory tract infection
- Airway Intubation
- Long term presence of tracheostomy
Less Common Risk Factors
- Less common risk factors in the development of tracheitis include:
- Immunocompromised state
- Lack of immunization e.g Heamophilus Influenza B
