Abstract

Chronic cough is a common medical problem which may require the expertise of the bronchoscopist on occasion. There is a myriad of pulmonary and non-pulmonary disorders that are associated with cough which need to be considered for accurate diagnosis. In addition to the common causes, mastery of uncommon reasons for cough is necessary for the specialist. This chapter offers general overview of chronic cough and highlights some of the unusual causes of this symptom which may perplex the clinician.
