SARS‐CoV‐2 tracheitis in laryngectomized patients: a consecutive case‐series study

xlomafota13 shared this article with you from Inoreader

Abstract

SARS-CoV-2 is a possible cause of acute severe tracheitis in laryngectomees. In our series, the clinical picture was characterized by a haemorrhagic tracheitis with a slow resolution pattern. We observed a histological pattern of erosive inflammation of the respiratory epithelium. Planned tracheo-bronchoscopy and tracheal toilettes are recommended to prevent critical obstruction of the airway, which can be fatal in patients with associated impairment of lung function caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection. The present cases highlight the need for close interdisciplinary working and communication in the management of airway complications of COVID-19 infection.
