Narrative Information

Note 1: “Croup is a condition that causes an inflammation of the upper airways – the voice box (larynx) and windpipe (trachea). It often leads to a barking cough or hoarseness, especially when a child cries. Most cases of croup are caused by viruses, usually parainfluenza virus and sometimes adenovirus or respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Viral croup is most common – and symptoms are most severe – in children 6 months to 3 years old, but can affect older kids too….” (KidsHealth from Nemours. “Infections; Croup.” Accessed 1-7-2015.)

Note 2: “….Before the advent of vaccination, croup was frequently caused by diphtheria, and was often fatal. This cause is now a historical one in the Western world due to the success of the diphtheria vaccine and improved hygiene and living standards….The word croup comes from the Early Modern English verb croup, meaning ‘to cry hoarsely’; the name was first applied to the disease in Scotland and popularized in the 18^th century.” (Wikipedia. “Croup.” 12-4-2014 modification.
