Overview
Acute bronchitis is a self limited respiratory disease with an excellent prognosis which resolves within two weeks in majority of patients.
Natural History
If left untreated, acute bronchitis usually resolves within 2 weeks although it may last up to 2 months.[1][2]
When bronchitis is prolonged, consider:
- Mycoplasma pneumonia
- Chlamydia pneumoniae
- Bordetella pertussis. 13% to 32% of adolescents and adults with a cough lasting six days or more may have B. pertussis.[3][4]
Also consider pneumonia and atypical pneumonia.
Complications
The most common complication of acute bronchitis is persistent cough that my last for 6 weeks.[5] Rarely, in patients with immunosuppression or other debilitating disease, pneumonia occurs as a complication.[6]
Prognosis
Prognosis is generally excellent and most of patients recover after 5-10 days.[5] Recurrent episodes of acute bronchitis in subsequent years occur in 20% of patients.[6]
