Bronchitis is currently one of the most frequent diagnoses in ambulatory medicine.

This condition is rated as one of the top ten diseases of patients seeking medical attention, with cough being one of its most frequent symptoms.

Treatment costs for acute bronchitis are enormous: for each episode, patients receive an average of two prescriptions and miss two to three days of work.

Bronchitis was originally described in the 1800s as an inflammation of the bronchial mucous membranes.

Over the years it has been shown that this inflammation is the result of a sometimes complex and varied chain of events.

An infectious or noninfectious trigger leads to bronchial epithelial injury, leading to an inflammatory response with airway hyperactivity and mucus production.

Acute bronchitis is generally caused by a viral infection, while chronic bronchitis is usually due to prolonged exposure to environmental factors such as gases, smoke, dust and odors that can lead to its development, with smoking being one of its main causes.

Other symptoms of bronchitis may include sputum production, breathlessness, wheezing, chest pain, fever, and malaise.
