Overview
Careful history taking and physical examination may lead to specific etiologic findings.[1][2] Symptoms include bronchial irritation symptoms and constitutional symptoms.
History
The patient presents with cough and wheezing that may have started with or without fever.[3]
Symptoms
Symptoms of acute bronchitis are typically related to irritation of airways. Sometimes, constitutional symptoms are present.[3]
Bronchial irritation symptoms
- Cough
- Hoarseness
- Phlegm production
Note: that despite common sense,phlegm production does not necessarily indicate bacterial infection.[3]
Constitutional Symptoms
Additional Symptoms Based on Different Pathogens[1]
Influenza Virus & Adenovirus
- Fever, chills, headache, myalgia
- Bronchitis caused by Adenovirus may cause systemic and gastrointestinal symptoms.[4]
Parainfluenza Virus
- Children may present with stridor and difficultly breathing
- Common in autumn season
- Common cause of outbreak in nursing homes
Respiratory Syncytial Virus
- Common in winter and spring
- Family history of exposure to an infant with bronchiolitis is important.
Rhinovirus
- Mild symptoms
Atypical Bacteria
Bordetella Pertusis
Mycoplasma Pneumoniae & Chlamydiae Pneumonia
- Subacute onset, 2-3 week (helps in differentiating from influenza)
- Common in closed environment (military bases, schools, hostels)
