UNLABELLED: Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is an uncommon cause of acute laryngitis in immunocompetent patients since it mostly occurs in immunocompromised subjects. We present two previously healthy children with prolonged gingivostomatitis and stridor (lasting 3 and 4 weeks) in whom HSV-1 was isolated from subglottal ulcers. CONCLUSION: HSV should be considered a possible pathogen in cases of prolonged or atypical croup not only in immunocompromised or elderly patients but also in otherwise healthy children.
We report a case of bacterial croup caused by Pasteurella haemolytica. A nine-month-old girl was admitted to our hospital because of abrupt onset dyspnea and unconsciousness. From clinical and laboratory findings, she was diagnosed as having bacterial croup. Pasteurella haemolytica was recovered from her tracheal secretion on admission. To our knowledge, this is the first report of bacterial croup caused by P. haemolytica.
