laryngotracheobronchitis; the child was a 7 - year - old boy; the clinical features included recurrent high fever, cough and hoarseness; physical examination revealed fair spirits, pharyngeal congestion, grade I tonsillar enlargement, coarse breath sounds in both lungs, and no rales heard; auxiliary examinations confirmed Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection; under bronchoscopy, necrosis of the bronchial mucosa and exposure of cartilage were observed, and the pathological examination of the lesion showed inflammatory necrosis; after anti - infection treatment and multiple bronchoscopic lavage treatments, the child's condition improved and he was discharged from the hospital.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Necrotizing laryngotracheobronchitis can present with diffuse necrosis of the airway mucosa, has an acute onset and a severe disease progression, and can lead to death; in this case, the child developed necrosis of the tracheal and bronchial mucosa after Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection, and there is currently no report of necrotizing laryngotracheobronchitis occurring after Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection; in treatment, anti - infection treatment should be combined with bronchoscopic lavage treatment.<\/jats:p>\n
