Abstract
Cough is one of the most common causes of seeking the primary medical care, especially during the autumn and the spring. This article is a review of literature aimed at differential diagnosis of possible causes of acute cough in children and adults. Given a vast majority of diseases associated with cough, differential diagnosis have to consider several issues. The key issue is cough duration and possible anatomical location of the pathological changes. An algorithm of differential diagnosis of acute cough in children and adults and description of most common diseases associated with acute cough are given in the review. Further diagnostic work-up should be driven by the duration of cough as soon as the acute cough could be first manifestation of a chronic disease.
