-
A popular term for any acute laryngeal affection, with or without exudate, accompanied by obstructed breathing or by a hoarse ringing cough, or applied to catarrh of the larynx with edema or spasm. It was formerly applied as a specific disease to diphtheria of the larynx, although the difference between the exudate of croup, which was supposed to be superficial, and that of diphtheria, which involved the deeper layers, showed them to be stages in the same diphtheritic process. The term has gone out of use, except in its popular sense.
