Judging by the mean respiratory rates presented, many patients with very mild disease (with normal or borderline-normal respiratory rates) were admitted to the study. Mild croup is usually a self-limited condition. [jamanetwork.com]

- Pharyngitis
These birds had typical ILT lesions, characterized by a necrohemorrhagic laryngitis and tracheitis but were also affected by a severe erosive and necrotic esophagitis and pharyngitis. [papyrus.bib.umontreal.ca]

- Nausea
Unpleasant taste and nausea have been reported. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Cardiovascular
- Cyanosis
Severity of the illness was assessed by a clinical croup score based on retractions, stridor, air entry, cyanosis, and level of consciousness. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Grade 4: severe dyspnea with increasing respiratory insufficiency, cyanosis, risk of asphyxia, bradycardia and somnolence. [karger.com]

Treatment
The efficacy and adverse effects of nebulized racemic and L-epinephrine in the treatment of laryngotracheitis were compared. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Glucocorticoids are the treatment of choice because of their anti-inflammatory effect for treatment of croup [ 3 ]. [karger.com]
Diagnosis and treatment The diagnosis is made on the basis of complaints and obvious symptoms of laryngotracheitis. Treatment in adults as well as children, dependent, primarily, from the causes of the disease. [medicalj-center.info]

Rising antibody titres to influenza viruses were observed in all three patients examined, suggesting strongly an etiological association between these viruses and acute laryngotracheobronchitis. [jstage.jst.go.jp]
In patients who worsen or do not improve after 3-5 days of empiric therapy, guidelines recommend exploration for resistant pathogens, structural abnormality, or noninfectious etiology. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Prevention
Prevention Methods of prevention include strict biosecurity, quarantine or all-in/all-out operation. In the event of an outbreak vaccination of poultry over 4 weeks of age on affected sites would be considered on a case by case basis. [daera-ni.gov.uk]
To prevent the spread of pertussis, patients should be isolated for 5 days. [emedicine.medscape.com]
