| Abstrakt: |
In non-smokers without intake of an ACE-inhibitor, the three most common causes of chronic cough are eosinophilic airways disease (asthma or eosinophilic bronchitis), Upper-airway-cough-syndrome (UACS) and Gastro-esophageal-reflux desease (GERD). In smokers, chronic bronchitis and COPD are common causes as well. In patients with a normal chest X-ray and lack of information on a less frequent cause in history and physical examination, it is recommended therefore to routinely look for these diseases and/or to treat them empirically. |
