Asthma is a common cause of chronic cough. Recent studies suggest cough-variant asthma is a spectrum of asthma, differing in inflammatory response and bronchoconstriction compared to classic asthma.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Allergy and Immunology
  • Respiratory Medicine

Background:

  • Asthma is a significant diagnosis in studies evaluating chronic cough.
  • Differentiating cough-variant asthma from classic asthma remains an area of active research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and contextualize recent research on the relationship between cough and asthma.
  • To explore the evolving understanding of cough-variant asthma.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recent prospective studies on cough and asthma.
  • Analysis of research differentiating cough-variant asthma from classic asthma based on bronchoconstrictor response, airway resistance, and biochemical markers.

Main Results:

  • Asthma is frequently diagnosed in cough studies, though incidence varies by cough type (sub-acute vs. chronic).

  • Studies indicate cough-variant asthma may have a blunted bronchoconstrictor response and altered airway resistance compared to classic asthma.
  • Biochemical differences, such as vascular endothelial growth factor levels, may distinguish cough-variant from classic asthma.

    • Conclusions:

    • Emerging data positions cough-variant asthma as part of a continuum of asthma symptom expression.
    • The inflammatory response in cough-variant asthma may differ from that in classic asthma.
