Chronic bronchitis What is chronic bronchitis? It is a persisting inflammation of the bronchial tree (air passages) of the lungs. It is a potentially dangerous problem because it starts so quietly that many people do not realise that they have it. Repeated irritation thickens and damages the delicate lining of these important tubes. This leads to lots of mucus and thus narrowing of the tubes. What are the symptoms? The main symptom is a morning cough with sputum (phlegm). Smokers may consider this to be a normal smokers' cough, but there is nothing normal about it. As time goes by, this productive cough increases. Later on, wheezing and breathlessness become a problem. If you are breathless when you exert yourself, you probably have significant lung damage. What are the causes? Smoking is the main cause. People who work in dusty atmospheres are also at risk. Air pollution is a minor factor. At first the bronchitis gets worse with bad colds or influenza, but eventually even a mild cold can bring on a nasty flare-up. Colds or other infections can cause deterioration, especially in winter. However, chronic bronchitis is not caused by chronic infection. It is usually caused by chronic irritation from smoke. What are the risks?

Additional Sources Of Information Other helpful websites: Yahoo! Health WebMD NIH What Is Bronchitis? Bronchitis is an inflammation of the bronchial tubes, or bronchi, that bring air into the lungs. Inflammation is a chemical reaction in the body that produces redness, swelling, and pain. Bronchitis can be caused by: Viruses Bacteria Smoking Breathing in certain kinds of irritating chemicals When the cells lining the bronchi are irritated, the tiny hairs (cilia) that normally trap and eliminate things from the outside stop working. Formation of material associated with irritation (inflammation) also increases; causing the passages to become clogged. There is currently no cure for chronic bronchitis. Most treatment is focused on making the symptoms less severe and trying to prevent further damage. Types Of Bronchitis There are two types of bronchitis: Acute bronchitis usually lasts only a few days. It is often caused by a viral infection and may begin after you develop a cold or sore throat. It usually produces no long-lasting, harmful effects.

Bronchitis COMMON CHARACTERISTICS Bronchitis is an inflammation of the bronchial tubes, or bronchi (the air passages that extend from the windpipe into the lungs). The inflammation may be caused by a virus, bacteria, smoking or the inhalation of chemical pollutants or dust. When the cells of the bronchial-lining tissue are irritated beyond a certain point, the tiny hairs (cilia) within them, which normally trap and eliminate pollutants, stop functioning. Consequently, the air passages become clogged by debris and irritation increases. In response, a heavy secretion of mucus develops, which causes the characteristic cough of bronchitis. ACUTE BRONCHITIS Brief bouts of acute bronchitis often evolve from a severe cold. This disorder may also follow or accompany the flu, or it may begin without having had an infection. Acute bronchitis usually lasts about 10 days. Severe cases may also cause general malaise and chest pain. CHRONIC BRONCHITIS Chronic bronchitis is defined as excessive mucus secretion in the bronchi and a chronic or recurrent mucus-producing cough that lasts three or more months and recurs year after year. In diagnosing chronic bronchitis, it is important to rule out heart disease, lung infections, cancer and other disorders that may produce bronchitis-like symptoms. Chronic bronchitis may result from a series of attacks of acute bronchitis, or it may evolve gradually because of heavy smoking or the inhalation of air contaminated with other pollutants in the environment.

Bibliography Definition Inflammation of the mucous membrane of the bronchial tubes (Catarrh is the old term). Back to Top Causes Infectious agents such as viruses, esp. influenza virus, or pyogenic organisms such as various species of Streptococcus, Pneumococcus , Staphylococcus, and Hemophilus. Infection often is preceded by the common cold , and often leads to pneumonia (inflammation of the lung). Predisposing factors for bronchitis: chilling, fatigue, and malnutrition. Acute bronchial irritation may also be caused by various physical and chemical agents such as dust and fumes. Allergic factors may be of importance. Exercising in cold air, one should wear a mask to warm the air inhaled. Back to Top Symptoms Incessant coughing due to the irritation present, a build-up of mucus, fever, back and chest pain, sore throat, and difficulty breathing. Chronic bronchitis results from frequent irritation of the lungs, but is not an infection. Allergies may be responsible for chronic bronchitis. If the chronic bronchitis goes untreated, the space in the lungs available for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide diminishes, the heart has to work harder to keep an adequate volume of blood. This can lead to heart disease. If caused by bacteria, antibiotics should be prescribed. Cough suppressants should not be used in the treatment. A chest X-ray should be taken to rule out lung cancer.

For Patients College Health Tips from the University of Iowa's Student Health Service Is it Bronchitis? Rita Krause, M.D. Former Student Health Service Physician First Published: 2003 Last Revised: November 2003 Peer Review Status: Internally Reviewed How do I know if I have bronchitis? Bronchitis is an inflammation of the bronchi, the tubes that carry air down to your lungs. Symptoms usually include a cough (often producing mucus) and chest pain that worsens when coughing. You also may have associated fever, headache, sore throat, nasal congestion, and weakness. Bronchitis is more common in smokers and those with underlying lung disease, such as asthma. Most cases of bronchitis in healthy young adults are caused by viruses. Regular rest, fluids, and nutritious meals will help keep your immune system strong to fight off the illness. Stress, alcohol, and smoking will have an adverse affect and may actually allow the virus to hang on longer. You should see a physician if you have a fever higher than 101 degrees, if your symptoms last more than a week, or if you have asthma and your symptoms are worse.
