Infants with an aspirated foreign body who present with acute onset of obstructed airflow should be readily diagnosed. When aspirated foreign body is overlooked, patients may present with recurrent inspiratory, biphasic, or expiratory stridor. We report an infant who repeatedly presented with varying degrees of inspiratory stridor. The diagnosis of aspirated foreign body was hampered by the presence of respiratory syncytial virus infection with the initial episode.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
