    In the ID section under staccato, barky & paroxysmal coughs, the most common cause of croup should be viral and parainfluenza.

    Thanks! Luckily the Summary Table is accurate. I’ve modified the two sections in the book for future members. Here it is:

    (DOUBLE TAKE) STACCATO, BARKY & PAROXYSMAL COUGHS

    * STACCATO: If this term is used to describe an infection-related cough, pick CHLAMYDIA PNEUMONIAE.

    * BARKY: If this term is used to describe the cough, pick CROUP. Which is most commonly from parainfluenza and other viruses.

    * PAROXYSMAL: If this term is used to describe the cough, pick PERTUSSIS.
