Bacterial tracheitis with upper airway obstruction in a patient with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome

R R Valor et al. Am Rev Respir Dis. 1992 Dec.

Abstract

Bacterial tracheitis after an upper viral respiratory infection is a well-recognized entity in the pediatric literature. Bacterial tracheitis has only recently been reported in adults, and it is a potentially life-threatening illness. We report a case of bacterial tracheitis in a patient with AIDS.
