*'''Includes'''

** croup

** tracheitis

* '''Does not include'''

** tracheobronchitis - code [[Lower respiratory tract infection, acute infectious]] - the distinction between classifying a tracheitis as upper respiratory track vs. lower respiratory tract is whether or not the bronchi are also involved.

** the nose - code [[Disorder of nose and/or sinuses, infectious or noninfectious NOS]]

*The could be confusion about what is "upper" vs. "lower" respiratory.

**Remember from top to bottom, the anatomy is: oropharynx --> larynx --> trachea --> main carina --> bronchi --> smaller bronchi and then bronchioles --> alveoli.

**For ICD10 coding, the answer is anything above and including the main carina at the bottom of the trachea is "upper" and everything below that is "lower". So, while a pure tracheitis or laryngitis is upper, a tracheobronchitis includes part of lower airway and thus is categorized as lower

*A potential source of confusion is the wastebasket code '''[[Disorder of upper respiratory tract, infectious or noninfectious NOS]]'''. See that page to understand how it differs.
