Six patients (75%) presented with various degrees of respiratory distress. Those patients had tachypnoea (a respiratory rate of 45-90 breaths/min) and low haemoglobin oxygen saturation levels (SaO 2 ) in the range 90-94%.

Hoarseness was noticed in 2 children. Difficulty in feeding was also a common complaint, reported by 5 patients.
