Abstract

Cough is considered to be chronic if it lasts longer than 3 weeks. It is the fifth most common complaint in outpatient admissions. Between January 2000 and October 2002, the patients with a cough history of more than 3 weeks were included in this study. Patients with known previous lung diseases, smokers, and those having pathologic lung radiograph were excluded from the study. A total of 45 patients (12 males and 33 females) with a mean age of 40.6±17.2 years were included. The mean duration of cough was 62.1±103.2 weeks ranging from 3 weeks to 10 years. Postnasal drip syndrome (39%) was the most common cause of chronic cough followed by gastroesophageal reflux (23.4%) and asthma/eosinophilic bronchitis (21.8%). While chronic cough was found to be due to one condition in 64.4%, more than one condition was found in 35.6% of cases. Postnasal drip syndrome, gastroesophageal reflux disease, asthma and eosinophilic bronchitis should be thought first in the etiology of patients admitting with the complaint of chronic cough. It should also be born in mind that more than one cause might participate in the etiology of chronic cough.

Özet

Öksürük solunum yollarının önemli bir semptomu olup, üç haftadan fazla bir süredir devam ediyorsa, kronik öksürük olarak tanımlanır. Ayaktan başvurularda en sık görülen semptomlar arasında beşinci sırada yer alır. Kliniğimizde Ocak 2000 ile Ekim 2002 arasında, süresi 3 haftayı geçen öksürük semptomuyla başvuran hastalar çalışmaya alındı. Önceden bilinen bir akciğer hastalığı olan, sigara içen ve akciğer radyografisi patolojik olan hastalar çalışmaya alınmadı. Çalışmaya yaş ortalaması 40.6±17.2 olan 12’si erkek (%26.7), 33’ü kadın (%73.3) olmak üzere toplam 45 hasta alındı. Bu hastalarda öksürüğün süresi, 3 hafta ile 10 yıl arasında değişmekle birlikte, ortalama 62.1±103.2 haftaydı. Kronik öksürük nedeni olarak en sık post nazal akıntı sendromu (%39) saptanırken, bunu sırasıyla gastroözofageal reflü hastalığı (%23.4) ve astım/eozinofilik bronşit (%21.8) izledi. Bazı hastalarda kronik öksürüğe neden olan tek bir hastalık (%64.4) saptanırken, bazı hastalarda birden fazla (%35.6) neden bir arada bulunmaktaydı. Kronik öksürük sebebiyle gelen hastalarda özellikle postnazal akıntı sendromu, gastroözofageal reflü hastalığı, astım ve eozinofilik bronşit ön planda düşünülmeli ve birden fazla neden olabileceği unutulmamalıdır.
