Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis
Natural History
- The symptoms of tracheitis usually develop in the first and second decade of life, and start with symptoms such as cough, change in voice quality and stridor.
- The symptoms of tracheitis typically develop after exposure to viruses e.g parainfluenza, rhinovirus. After the prodromal viral illness develops, superimposed bacterial infection can occur and cause a more severe form of disease.
- If left untreated, [#]% of patients with [disease name] may progress to develop [manifestation 1], [manifestation 2], and [manifestation 3].
Complications
- Airway obstruction -- can lead to death
- Toxic shock syndrome -- if caused by the bacteria Staphylococcus
- Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
- Septic Shock[1]
Prognosis
With prompt treatment, the child should recover.
