• Portal of entry- respiratory or non respiratory
• Droplet and direct
• Period of infectivity-14 to 28 days from onset
Pseudomembrane occlude the airway
• Fever>101
• Toxemia and tachycardia
• Hoarse voice, croupy cough
• Inspiratory stridor and dyspnoea leading to significant upper airway obstruction.
• Membrane. Greyish white membrane is seen on the tonsil, pharynx and soft palate. It is
adherent and its removal leaves a bleeding surface. Similar membrane is seen over the larynx
and trachea.

COMPLICATIONS
• Asphyxia ,, death
• Laryngeal, palatal paralysis
• Toxic myocarditis
PERTUSSIS
• Bordetella pertussis
• Exotoxin and endotoxin – stop cilia function and epithelial necrosis
• Spread by sneezing and coughing (Droplets)
• Notifiable disease
• IP- 7 to 14 days
• Period of communicable – 1 week after Exposure to 3 weeks after onset of cough
• Cough – paroxysmal attacks with gasping and whoop
• Throat swab and PCR
TREATMENT
• Erythromycin 7 to 14 days
• Steroids
• Beta 2 adrenergic
• Pertussis specific immunoglobulin
INFECTIOUS MONONUCLEOSIS
• EBV
• Affinity to B lymphocytes , Infect epithelium of oropharynx
• Transmitted through bodily secretions
• Common in adolescent
• IP 4 to 7 weeks
• Sore throat, tonsillar enlargement, periorbital edema and edema of the lower lips-
HOGALAND SIGN
• Palatal petechiae, hepatomegaly, splenomegaly
MANAGEMENT
• CBC, LFT, RFT
• Leucocytosis (50%), atypical leukocytes (10%, >20%)
• Monospot test, Paul bennell test
• Positivity to monospot test first 6weeks , and repeated after 7 days
• Repeated negative test-CMV, HIV, Rubella and toxoplasmosis
• Fluid, analgesics and steroids
• Penicillin group of antibiotics avoided as it may cause maculopapular rash
COMPLICATIONS
• Airway obstruction due to cervical lymphadenopathy
• Anaemia, thrombocytopenia , encehapilitis, GBS
• Pericarditis and myocarditis
OEDEMA OF LARYNX
• Airway obstruction
• Inspiratory stridor
• IDL
• Treatment
• Intubation of larynx

• Co2 LASER
• Interferon alpha
• 13 cis retinoic acid
FB IN AIRWAY
• Non irritating type
• Irritating type- vegetable/ nuts- edema
• Choking
• Symptomless period
• Laryngeal- obstruction - death
LOCATION
•In decreasingorder Of frequency,
1.Bronchus (right> left)
2.Trachea
3.Larynx
4.lungs
• Tracheal- cough, hemoptysis, wheeze, audible slap
• Bronchial
DELAYED PRESENTATION
•Common in children
•Maybe treated as asthma due to low grade cough and
noisy breathing
•Delay in diagnosis- granulation tissue formation,
pneumonitis, bronchiectasis, lung abscess
• Chest xray
• Xray neck ap/ lateral view
• Fluroscopy
• CT chest
• Hemlich
• Cricothyrotomy
• Tracheostomy
• Direct laryngoscopy
• Bronchoscopy
RIGID BRONCHOSCOPY
•Mainstay of treatment
•done under general anaesthesia
•Position: barking dog position
•Technique: direct method, through laryngoscope
•Limitations: supraglottic area is difficult to evaluate
can reach only up to segmental bronchi
•Technically difficult
•On prolonged procedure it causes Subglottic edema
