Overview
Bronchitis must be differentiated from other diseases that cause cough such as asthma,pneumonia,bronchectasis 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 has started from childhood[3]. |
| Bronchectasis | 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 ausculatation and chest x ray findings of cardiac enlargement and pulmonary congestion (Kerley B lines, and pleural effusion). |
