Validity of Spirometry for Diagnosis of Cough Variant Asthma
Background Cough variant asthma (CVA) is a chronic or recurrent cough without wheezing accompanied by bronchial hyper-responsiveness and eosinophilic inflammation of the airways. This study aimed to evaluate the validity of spirometry in the diagnosis of CVA, as well as determining the specificity and sensitivity of spirometry parameters in CVA. Materials and Methods This descriptive observat...

Airway eosinophilia and cough may be associated with asthma and with non-asthmatic eosinophilic bronchitis. Whether cough variant asthma and eosinophilic bronchitis are distinct entities or a pathophysiological spectrum needs further examination.

Chronic cough has been reported to be the fifth most common complaint seen by primary care physicians in the world, the third in Italy. Chronic cough in non-smoking, non-treated with ACE-inhibitor adults with normal chest radiogram could be a symptom of asthma and can be sub-classified into: cough-variant asthma, atopic cough, and eosinophilic bronchitis. This review discusses the differential ...
متن کاملEosinophilic Inflammation in Allergic Asthma
Eosinophils are circulating granulocytes involved in pathogenesis of asthma. A cascade of processes directed by Th2 cytokine producing T-cells influence the recruitment of eosinophils into the lungs. Furthermore, multiple elements including interleukin (IL)-5, IL-13, chemoattractants such as eotaxin, Clara cells, and CC chemokine receptor (CCR)3 are already directly involved in recruiting eosin...
متن کاملCase report: cough variant asthma.
C hronic cough is the fifth most common complaint seen by primary care physicians, and for many it is a diagnostic challenge. In a few patients with documented airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), cough can be the sole presenting symptom of asthma. This uncommon clinical condition is known as cough variant asthma. Despite underlying AHR, it is difficult to diagnose cough variant asthma because the...
