This article is a Preprint
Preprints are preliminary research reports that have not been certified by peer review. They should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
Preprints posted online allow authors to receive rapid feedback and the entire scientific community can appraise the work for themselves and respond appropriately. Those comments are posted alongside the preprints for anyone to read them and serve as a post publication assessment.

ABSTRACT
Key points • SARS-CoV-2 is a possible cause of acute severe tracheitis in laryngectomees. • In our series, the clinical picture was characterized by a hemorrhagic tracheitis with a slow resolution pattern. • We observed a histological pattern of erosive inflammation of the respiratory epithelium. • Planned tracheo-bronchoscopy and tracheal toilettes are recommended to prevent critical obstruction of the airway, which can be fatal in patients with associated impairment of lung function caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection. • The present cases highlight the need for close interdisciplinary working and communication in the management of airway complications of COVID-19 infection.
