RESUMEN

We describe two patients in whom bacterial tracheitis developed shortly after elective tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy. Bacterial tracheitis has not previously been reported in this clinical setting. Prompt recognition is essential if a fatal outcome is to be avoided. The cause remains uncertain, but the outcome is good if timely treatment is instituted.
