A previously healthy man developed a persistent spasmodic cough after traveling to Beijing. This case highlights potential environmental triggers for respiratory symptoms in travelers.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Medicine
  • Respiratory Medicine
  • Travel Medicine

Background:

  • A 56-year-old male traveler from London, England, presented with a new onset of a regular spasmodic cough.
  • The cough began upon arrival in Beijing, China, in 2008 and persisted throughout his stay.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To document a case of persistent spasmodic cough potentially linked to environmental factors in Beijing.
  • To raise awareness of respiratory symptoms that may arise from travel to different environmental conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Case report detailing the onset and duration of symptoms in relation to travel.
  • Clinical observation of a previously healthy individual.

Main Results:

  • The patient, previously healthy, experienced a consistent spasmodic cough during his time in Beijing.

  • The cough was directly associated with his presence in the city.

    • Conclusions:

    • Environmental exposures in Beijing may have triggered the spasmodic cough in this traveler.
    • Further investigation into environmental respiratory triggers for travelers is warranted.
