		Tracheobronchitis, or often improperly referred to as "kennel cough".
		Infectious tracheobronchitis is a highly contagious upper-respiratory disease, which is spread by an airborne virus.
		But tracheobronchitis is more likely to occur when the concentration of dogs is greater such as at dog shows, kennels, veterinarian offices and hospitals, as well as pet shops.

		Infectious tracheobronchitis is the medical term that describes a group of contagious, respiratory diseases in dogs.
		Infectious tracheobronchitis occurs when the respiratory system is weakened (by injury or other infection) and disease-causing microorganisms, such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, or parasites, invade the damaged tissues.
		Bordetella bronchiseptica is a bacterial cause of kennel cough.

		In kennels where tracheobronchitis is a problem, strict hygiene with thorough cleaning and disinfection of cages and food and water containers is essential.
		Agents causing tracheobronchitis can be transmitted on hands and clothing as well as through the air, so infected animals must be isolated and handlers should wear gloves and use proper handwashing to help prevent spread.
		Infectious tracheobronchitis is a disease of dogs and wild canids, it does not appear to be a risk to healthy humans or cats, but has been known for cats to contract the virus.

		Still, when dogs are placed in group situations, they are often exposed to the organisms that cause tracheobronchitis.
		There are a number of possible causes of tracheobronchitis but most cases are probably caused by the bacteria Bordetella bronchiseptica.
		Most vets assume that a dog has tracheobronchitis when the owner calls on the phone and says "my dog has a bone caught in his throat".

	Canine Kennel Cough-Tracheobronchitis,Bordetellosis, or Bordetella.-especially puppies coughing and sneezing (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The symptoms of kennel cough or tracheobronchitis is a harsh cough, usually contact with other dogs.
		In cats, tracheobronchitis, conjunctivitis, and pneumonia have been associated with Bordetella bronchiseptica infection-but most cases of upper-respiratory infection (URI) probably are caused by herpesvirus and calicivirus, and many B. bronchiseptica culture-positive cats are clinically normal.
		Our prospective observational study was undertaken to document the contribution of B. bronchiseptica to disease in cats and dogs from two animal shelters undergoing outbreaks of canine kennel cough, to evaluate whether cross-species transmission might have occurred, and to determine if the presence of infected cats represented a risk to dogs.

		Predisposing factors are similar to those for acute, necrotizing pulmonary aspergillosis, but in one series, the patients with tracheobronchitis were less neutropenic and less likely to have received steroids and cytotoxic agents than those with parenchymal disease [2].
		Recently, tracheobronchitis has been described in AIDS patients [3-5] and in heart-lung, bone marrow [6], and lung transplant patients [7].
		There is one report of acute tracheobronchitis in a patient with COPD who was not being treated with steroids [8].

		Adherence of bacteria to mammalian tissues, which is mediated by pili (fimbriae), is thought to be an important precursor to colonization, and infection of the upper airways is associated with the presence of pili.
		In any case, nontypable H influenzae is certainly a prominent cause of acute tracheobronchitis or pneumonia in patients who have underlying chronic bronchitis, emphysema, or obstructive pulmonary disease.
		Endocarditis due to H parainfluenzae tends to be associated with large vegetations that embolize to large arteries such as femoral or carotid, causing a limb to turn blue and cool, or producing a stroke.

	Upper Respiratory Tract Infections
		About 12 million individuals are diagnosed with acute tracheobronchitis annually, accounting for one third of patients presenting with acute cough.
		Chest radiography should be reserved for patients with acute tracheobronchitis who have other comorbid conditions, those with abnormal vital signs or signs of consolidation on chest examination, or those with persistent symptoms for more than 3 weeks.
		Treating acute tracheobronchitis with antibiotics is not recommended, since most cases are viral, and thus resolve spontaneously.

	Merck Vet. Edition - Tracheobronchitis: Overview
		Tracheobronchitis is an acute or chronic inflammation of the trachea and bronchial airways; it may be primary or secondary depending on the etiologic agent.
		Canine infectious tracheobronchitis (kennel cough, see Infectious Tracheobronchitis of Dogs) is often secondary to viral infection of the respiratory system.
		Recognition of tracheobronchitis as an often secondary disease syndrome underlies the importance of diagnosis and control of an associated primary disease.

	Ulcerative and plaque-like tracheobronchitis due to Aspergillus in AIDS.
		Three patients had ulcerative bronchitis with varied degrees of diffuse tracheobronchitis, multiple ulcerative or inflammatory plaques and occasional nodules involving the mainstem and segmental bronchi.
		One patient had an initial clinical response, but died of bacterial sepsis at 5 mo. One patient had a clinical response, but died of disseminated cytomegalovirus infection at 11 mo; autopsy revealed a small focus of peribronchial infection.
		Despite histologic evidence of limited mucosal invasion, tracheobronchitis may herald occult or incipient pulmonary parenchymal infection and dissemination in profoundly immunocompromised hosts.

		The results of this study demonstrate that VAT is associated with increased duration of mechanical ventilation and ICU stay in immunocompetent nontrauma patients without chronic respiratory failure.
		Tracheobronchitis is characterized by lower respiratory tract inflammation and increased sputum production.
		Previous studies [4,11] highlighted the link between tracheobronchitis and prolonged duration of mechanical ventilation, but these studies did not adjust for confounding factors; in particular, they did not adjust for duration of mechanical ventilation before development of VAT.

		The bacterium Bordetella bronchiséptica is the primary cause of the canine infectious tracheobronchitis (coughs of the kennels).
		The infectious tracheobronchitis is highly contagious and the transmission happens for aerosols, in other words, drops eliminated in the cough and sneeze of polluted animals.
		The most serious form of the disease results in mixed infections in pups no vaccinated coming of stores, shelter of animals, etc. The secondary bacterial bronchopneumonia seems to be the determinant of the severity of the disease.

	Kennel Cough
		Infectious tracheobronchitis (canine cough or kennel cough) is the name given to a contagious disease of the canine respiratory tract.
		The germs associated with this disease infect the cells lining the interior of the trachea (windpipe) and the bronchi (large air passages of the lungs).
		Infectious tracheobronchitis is extremely contagious and dogs with the disease should be isolated from healthy dogs.

		The clinical course of patients undergoing prolonged mechanical ventilation is often complicated by the development of purulent tracheobronchitis.
		The purpose of this study was to assess whether ventilator-associated hypersecretion is associated with elevated levels of tissue kallikrein (TK) activity.
		The observation of increased TK activity in patients with neutrophilic airway inflammation suggests that TK may play a role in modulating inflammation in ventilator-associated tracheobronchitis and may be worthy of further study to determine its source and significance.
