Abstract

A clinical and virological study of 4 cases of acute laryngotracheobronchitis is presented with a brief discussion.<BR>Clinically acute laryngotracheobronchitis is a progressive disease with downward spread of the infection in the respiratory tract.<BR>Rising antibody titres to influenza viruses were observed in all three patients examined, suggesting strongly an etiological association between these viruses and acute laryngotracheobronchitis.<BR>A characteristic feature is the production of a tenacious exudate and crustig from subglottic tissues to the bronchi. This is diagnostic. Tracheotomy is often required for a relief of dyspnea, being preferable to intubation.
