Abstract
Laryngotracheal infections in childhood frequently result in airway obstruction, the major symptom of which is stridor. The primary aims of management are to establish a diagnosis rapidly and to maintain or secure the child's airway. Medical treatment and airway stabilization measures vary for the three most prevalent laryngotracheal infections — supraglottitis, laryngotracheitis, and bacterial tracheitis — as well as for older and newer infectious airway entities.
