Overview
Chronic bronchitis must be differentiated from congestive heart failure, chronic asthma, bronchiectasis, and bronchiolitis obliterans.
Differential Diagnosis
| Disease | Findings |
|---|---|
| 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) |
| Bronchiectasis | Presents copious purulent sputum, coarse crackles, clubbing and CT findings suggestive of bronchiectasis[1] |
| Asthma | Presents with cough, dyspnea and wheezing and typically is a chronic condition which has started from childhood[1] |
| Bronchiolitis obliterans | Has history of collagen vascular disease, usually young patient without a history of smoking and CT scan shows finding of mosaic attenuation and no evidence of emphysema |
| Pneumonia | Presents with acute fever, cough and shortness of breath, although pulmonary infiltrate on chest X-ray is an imaging finding[2]. |
