RÉSUMÉ
Bacterial tracheitis should be raised as a possible cause in cases of severe febrile dyspnea. It can be life-threatening due to airway obstruction or, less frequently, due to toxic shock syndrome. We report the observation of toxic shock syndrome-complicated bacterial tracheitis in a 14-year-old boy. We describe the signs and symptoms of these conditions as well as the principles of treatment.
