“…The classic description of a child with BT is a patient with a toxic appearance, stridor, tachypnea, voice changes or hoarseness, fever, and dysphagia that rapidly deteriorates within a period of two to 10 hours [ 1 , 2 , 6 , 7 ] Many patients present prodromal symptoms, such as low-grade fever, cough, and rhinorrhea. This clinical evolution supports the hypothesis that BT is a bacterial infection superimposed over a viral upper respiratory tract infection [ 1 , 3 , 6 ]. The most frequently identified bacteria are methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA), Hemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis, and Streptococcus pneumoniae [ 1 , 2 ].…”

Bacterial tracheitis (BT) is an uncommon life-threatening condition that results in acute upper airway obstruction. Classical signs include a toxic appearance, stridor, tachypnoea, and fever, often leading to rapid clinical deterioration. Recent studies have shown a shift in BT epidemiology and presentation, where stridor and respiratory distress are now predominant. A poor response to corticosteroids or nebulized epinephrine is also commonly described, along with a need for mechanical ventilation. We present the case of a five-year-old boy admitted to the emergency department with cough, stridor, and dyspnea that had significantly worsened over the previous hours. He presented reasonable general condition, marked retractions, poor air entry, stridor, and wheezing. Investigation revealed a slight elevation of C-reactive protein and leukocytosis with neutrophilia. Anteroposterior x-ray showed narrowing of subglottic airways (steeple sign). There was no response to oral/nebulized corticoids, nebulized adrenaline, or bag-valve-mask oxygenation. Antibiotic therapy with ceftriaxone was initiated. Due to deteriorating clinical conditions with severe respiratory acidosis, orotracheal intubation was required. Later Streptococcus pyogenes was isolated in the bronchial secretions and a targeted antibiotic regimen was administered. Progressive clinical and analytical improvement was observed with no complications. Although uncommon, BT remains a severe infectious condition affecting otherwise healthy children. Our case underscores the severity of the disease and the imperative for invasive interventions to achieve favorable outcomes. It also supports recent findings indicating a shift in predominant symptoms and prognosis. Clinicians must be vigilant and knowledgeable, recognizing that worsening stridor and respiratory distress unresponsive to conservative treatment are key indicators for diagnosing BT.

How is democracy made real? How does an undemocratic country create new institutions and transform its polity such that democratic values and practices become integral parts of its political culture? These are some of the most pressing questions of our times, and they are the central inquiry of Building Democracy in Japan. Using the Japanese experience as a starting point, this book develops a new approach to the study of democratization that examines state-society interactions as a country adjusts its existing political culture to accommodate new democratic values, institutions, and practices. With reference to the country's history, the book focuses on how democracy is experienced in contemporary Japan, highlighting the important role of generational change in facilitating both gradual adjustments as well as dramatic transformation in Japanese politics.
