Overview
The viral infection that causes croup leads to swelling of the larynx, trachea, and large bronchi due to infiltration of white blood cells (especially histiocytes, lymphocytes, plasma cells, and neutrophils). Swelling produces airway obstruction which, when significant, leads to dramatically increased work of breathing and the characteristic turbulent, noisy airflow known as stridor.
Pathogenesis
- Development of Viral Croup results from infiltration of histiocytes, lymphocytes, plasma cells, and neutrophils white blood cells primarily by human parainfluenza viruses (HPIV).[1].
- HPIV fuses with the white blood cells through the glycoproteins hemagglutinin-neuraminidase and fusion protein.[2]
- Upon fusion, the HPIV nucleocapsid is expelled into the recipient cell cytoplasm.[2]
- Viral transcription occurs through virus-specific RNA-dependent RNA polymerase.[2]
- The viral mRNAs are translated into viral proteins, leading to the replication of genome into the following:[2]
- The negative-sense RNA strand is encapsidated by nucleoprotein and is then used for further transcription and replication.
- HPIV infection usually begins at the epithelium in the upper respiratory tract, spreading to the paranasal sinuses, larynx and bronchi.[3]
- The infiltration from HPIV causes inflammation by the up-regulated production of cytokines, localized in the trachea.[4]
- Additionally, HPIV-response Immunoglobulin E (IgE) release has been found to inhibit histamine production, contributing to the inflammation that causes croup.[5]
- Of the four different serotypes, HPIV-1 and HPIV-2 are the serotypes that cause croup.[6]
Transmission
- Croup may develop after Human parainfluenza virus is transmitted primarily by coughing, releasing infected secretions through respiratory droplets or contaminated surfaces or objects.[7]
