Trachea

Tracheitis is a bacterial infection of the trachea and is capable of producing airway obstruction.One of the most common causes is Staphylococcus aureus and often follows a recent viral upper respiratory infection. It is the most serious in young children, possibly because of the relatively small size of the trachea that gets easily blocked by swelling. The most frequent sign is the rapid development of stridor. It is occasionally confused with croup. (From the Wikpedia article Trachea.)
