The study was conducted in 228 children in whom pneumonia was suspected during clinical examination, complicating the course of acute laryngotracheitis. There were 46 children aged 8 months to 1 year, 113 from 1 to 2 years, and 69 from 2 to 3 years. Clinically, acute respiratory failure in 111 children corresponded to stage I laryngeal stenosis, in 104 to stage II, and in 13 to stage III. A group of 10 children suffering from pneumonia without combination with acute laryngotracheitis was taken for comparison.
