What Is Croup? Experts Explain the Health Condition Recently Associated With COVID-19

Prevention quotes Thomas A. Russo, MD, SUNY Distinguished Professor of medicine and chief of the Division of Infectious Diseases in the Jacobs School, in an article titled “What Is Croup? Experts Explain the Health Condition Recently Associated With COVID-19.” Children are the most at risk of contracting croup, especially those between the ages of six months and three years because they have small airways, he says. “As you get older, that space in your airway gets larger so you have a greater margin of error with swelling,” Russo says.
