Abstract EN
A 58-year-old nonsmoker female was referred for evaluation of chronic cough of 13 months duration.
After an initial work-up, the patient was diagnosed to have chronic cough due to eosinophilic bronchitis.
The diagnostic work-up for eosinophilic bronchitis and bronchial biopsy is discussed.
Eosinophilic bronchitis is differentiated from asthma.
In addition, the patient developed dyspnea, flushing, and wheezing after the administration of adenosine during a cardiac stress test in spite of a negative methacholine challenge.
This indirect stimulus of airway hyperresponsiveness suggests the possible involvement of mast cells in eosinophilic bronchitis.
