Abstract
Acute laryngotracheobronchitis is a disease of varied bacterial origin. It is a very serious disease but more so when it occurs in children less than one year of age. Treatment consists in providing adequate moisture in the inspired air, sometimes the use of expectorant drugs, the administration of the proper chemotherapeutic or antibiotic agent, and careful nursing. Tracheotomy is sometimes necessary. Suggestions have been made regarding indications for its need, performance of the procedure and the after-treatment of the tracheotomized child. Sedative and antihistaminic drugs are contraindicated in the treatment of acute laryngotracheobronchitis.
