The Spectrum of Non-asthmatic Airway Diseases Contributing to Cough in the Adult
Current Otorhinolaryngology Reports, 2019Co-Authors: Sidney S. Braman, Armeen PoorAbstract:Purpose of Review Cough becomes a pathologic reflex when the airways are inflamed and overwhelmed with excessive mucus. The goal of this review is to discuss acute and chronic Cough Syndromes caused by non-asthmatic airway diseases. Recent Findings Acute Cough syndrome is short-lived and self-limited. Acute bronchitis and diffuse acute infectious bronchiolitis (DAIB) are examples. The former is usually caused by a viral illness; the latter by Mycoplasma pneumoniae , influenza, and Haemophilus influenzae . Causes of chronic Cough in the adult include chronic bronchitis, non-infectious bronchiolitis, and non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis. Summary Supportive measures are recommended for acute bronchitis and antibiotic use is discouraged. Antibiotics may be needed for DAIB. Smoking cessation and bronchodilators can control Cough in chronic bronchitis. Therapeutic approaches for non-infectious bronchiolitis depend on the varied etiology. The hallmark of bronchiectasis is a chronic infection of the airways, and antibiotics, mucus clearance measures, and bronchodilators are all supportive.

Cough and bronchiectasis
Pulmonary Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 2017Co-Authors: Paul Mccallion, Anthony De SoyzaAbstract:Abstract Bronchiectasis is a chronic lung disease with permanent airway dilatation, mucus retention and recurrent lower respiratory tract infections. Bronchiectasis is increasing in prevalence and has a significant morbidity and an excess mortality rate over age matched controls. It is increasingly identified during investigations into chronic Cough and is evident high resolution CT scanning. There remain significant knowledge gaps in our understanding of the epidemiology, pathophysiology, prognosis and optimal treatments in bronchiectasis. This article reviews current concepts in bronchiectasis and focusses on the complex aspects of chronic Cough in this setting. Cough is important in bronchiectasis as it is one of the most common presenting symptoms, it affects a patients' quality of life and in conjunction with Cough hypersensitivity and airway hyper responsiveness may limit the successful uptake of treatment modalities such as inhaled antibiotics and/or inhaled mucoactive therapies. Effective Coughing often assisted by physiotherapy is a cornerstone of bronchial toileting in bronchiectasis. Some patients however have ongoing non-productive Cough symptoms suggesting a Cough sensitisation syndrome. Post nasal drip and gastro-oesophageal reflux may complicate bronchiectasis and further lead to intractable Cough Syndromes. There may be multiple Cough Syndromes within an individual at interplay and careful assessment and multidisciplinary working is needed to optimize symptom control. This article also highlights the many unknowns in chronic Cough in bronchiectasis.
