SARS-CoV-2 can cause severe pediatric disease, including acute COVID-19 and multisystem inflammatory syndrome. Published reports associating SARS-CoV-2 with upper airway infection (UAI), such as laryngotracheobronchitis (croup), have been limited to small case series. Although noncoronaviruses, including parainfluenza and respiratory syncytial virus, most frequently cause UAI, coronaviruses (eg, type NL63) are also commonly implicated. Young children are especially vulnerable to UAI given their small and relatively collapsible airways.
