==Overview==
The viral infection that causes croup leads to swelling of the [[larynx]], [[Vertebrate trachea|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]].
Development of croup results from infiltration of [[white blood cells]] through the [[human parainfluenza virus]] (HPIV). HPIV expels its [[nucleocapsid]] into the recipient cell [[cytoplasm]]. The [[viral]] transcription then occurs through the HPIV [[RNA]]-dependent [[RNA polymerase]]. The [[viral]] [[Messenger RNA|mRNAs]] are translated into [[viral]] [[protein|proteins]], leading to the replication of the [[genome]] into the negative-sense [[RNA]] strand, which is then encapsidated by the [[nucleoprotein]] and used for further transcription and replication. The [[inflammation]] response to HPIV occurs from the up-regulation of [[cytokine|cytokines]] and the released [[Immunoglobulin E]] inhibiting [[histamine]]. The resultant swelling of the [[larynx]], [[trachea]], and large [[bronchi]] obstructs the airways, which leads to croup.

Overview

Development of croup results from infiltration of white blood cells through the human parainfluenza virus (HPIV). HPIV expels its nucleocapsid into the recipient cell cytoplasm. The viral transcription then occurs through the HPIV RNA-dependent RNA polymerase. The viral mRNAs are translated into viral proteins, leading to the replication of the genome into the negative-sense RNA strand, which is then encapsidated by the nucleoprotein and used for further transcription and replication. The inflammation response to HPIV occurs from the up-regulation of cytokines and the released Immunoglobulin E inhibiting histamine. The resultant swelling of the larynx, trachea, and large bronchi obstructs the airways, which leads to croup.

Pathogenesis

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]
