A baby come to your clinic with loud cough that resembles the barking of a seal, difficulty breathing, and a grunting noise or wheezing during breathing. What is the dx? And the secondary question they WILL ask is is it enveloped and what is the structure?
A-bronchitis
B- croup
C- Pneumonia
D- whooping cough
E- Asthma

Agree with you, croup (laryngotracheobronchitis)
Maybe due to RSV or parainfluenza. Single stranded, negative, enveloped RNA virus
