Overview
Acute bronchitis must be differentiated from other causes of cough and wheezing including: acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis, Asthma and Pneumonia.
Differential Diagnosis of Acute Bronchitis
The Acute Bronchitis must be differentiated from other diseases that may cause cough, dyspnea and wheezing[1].
| Disease | Findings |
|---|---|
| Chronic Bronchitis | Presents with chronic cough, dyspnea and sputum production for more than three months for two years[2]. |
| Pneumonia | Presents with acute fever, cough and shortness of breath, although pulmonary infiltrate on chest x-ray is an imaging finding[3]. |
| Asthma | Presents with cough, dyspnea and wheezing and typically is a chronic condition which has started from childhood[4]. |
| Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease | May present with chronic dry cough but the typical symptom is heart burn[5][6]. |
