A persistent cough developed in three children taking angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. Symptoms resolved after discontinuing the medication, suggesting ACE inhibitors can cause cough in pediatric patients.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Pharmacology
  • Cardiovascular Drug Adverse Effects

Background:

  • Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are widely prescribed for various cardiovascular conditions.
  • A known side effect of ACE inhibitors is the induction of a persistent dry cough in some adult patients.

Observation:

  • Three pediatric patients developed persistent cough during treatment with ACE inhibitors.
  • Cough symptoms in these children resolved spontaneously within 3-7 days after the cessation of ACE inhibitor therapy.

Findings:

  • The observed cases in children align with previous reports of ACE inhibitor-induced cough in adults.
  • This suggests a consistent mechanism of cough induction by ACE inhibitors across different age groups.

Implications:

  • Clinicians should consider ACE inhibitors as a potential cause of persistent cough in children.
  • Discontinuation of ACE inhibitors may be an effective strategy for managing this adverse drug reaction in pediatric populations.
