Tracheitis: Causes

Pathogenesis (development of disease)

According to the cause, the following forms can be distinguished:

• Allergic
• Chemical-irritant
• Infectious:
  • Viral: adenoviruses, RS virus, parainfluenza viruses.
  • Bacterial: Haemophilus influenzae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae.
  • Mycotic: Candia mycoses (in immunodeficiency / immune deficiency).
• Mechanical-irritative

Etiology (causes)

Behavioral causes

• Pleasure food consumption
  • Tobacco (smoking) – nicotine abuse

Disease-related causes

Respiratory system (J00-J99)

• Infectious tracheitis (inflammation of the trachea) caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi

Further

• Allergic tracheitis
• Chemical irritant tracheitis – caused by chemical substances such as irritant gas.
• Mechanical-irritant tracheitis – caused by mechanical stimuli.

Environmental stresses – intoxications (poisonings).

• Chemical irritant tracheitis – caused by chemical substances such as irritant gas.
• Mechanical-irritant tracheitis – caused by mechanical stimuli.
