Overview

Bronchitis must be differentiated from other diseases that cause cough such as asthma, pneumonia, bronchiectasis and CHF.

Differential Diagnosis

The Bronchitis must be differentiated from other diseases that may cause cough, dyspnea and wheezing[1].

Disease Findings
Pneumonia Presents with acute fever, cough and shortness of breath, although pulmonary infiltrate on chest x-ray is an imaging finding.[2]
Asthma Presents with cough, dyspnea and wheezing and typically is a chronic condition which typically starts during childhood.[3]
Bronchiectasis Presents copious purulent sputum, coarse crackles, clubbing and CT findings suggestive of bronchiectasis.[3]
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease May present with chronic dry cough but the typical symptom is heart burn.[4][5]
Congestive heart failure Features with orthopnea, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, fine crackles on auscultation and chest x-ray findings of cardiac enlargement and pulmonary congestion (Kerley B lines, and pleural effusion).
