Y1 - 2015 N1 - T2 - Fishman's Pulmonary Diseases and Disorders, 5e AB - Acute bronchitis is an inflammation of the tracheobronchial tree, usually in association with a generalized respiratory infection affecting 40/1000 adults each year in the United Kingdom.1 It is the fifth most common diagnosis in patients presenting with cough.2 It occurs most commonly during the winter months and is associated with respiratory viruses, including rhinovirus, coronavirus, influenza viruses, and adenovirus. Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamydia pneumoniae, and Bordetella pertussis may also cause bronchitis. Secondary invasion with bacteria such as Haemophilus influenzae and Streptococcus pneumoniae may also play a role in acute bronchitis. However in only 50% of persons with acute bronchitis have a pathogen identified.1 SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/29 UR - accessmedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1122369256 ER -
