9Bacterial Infections
A bacterial infection can also lead to croup, but only in some rare cases. People with this type tend to experience more serious symptoms than those with the viral form. Bacterial croup can be classified into four categories, including laryngotracheobronchopneumonitis, laryngotracheobronchitis, bacterial tracheitis, and laryngeal diphtheria. Staying away from people who are sick, washing your hands regularly, and keeping personal hygiene are the most effective ways to prevent these conditions. [9]
