Abstract:
Bacterial tracheitis is a very rare complication in adults after endotracheal intubation. We report a case of bacterial tracheitis associated with endotracheal intubation and corticosteroids. The patient was discharged with a permanent tracheostomy, and a resection and an end-to-end anastomosis of the trachea is planned.
