Acute bronchitis is generally defined as a sudden and serious inflammation of the lining of the bronchial tubes. The bronchial tubes are an extension of the trachea (windpipe). They guide the air into both lungs. In the lungs the bronchial tubes branch repeatedly and end in the alveoli. Bronchitis is among the most common diseases affecting the airways and occurs most often in the winter months.
Acute bronchitis is caused by viruses in 90 percent of cases. Only in rare cases does a secondary bacterial infection follow the viral infection. Risk factors such as air pollution, tobacco smoke, cold and damp can exacerbate the disease. Acute bronchitis usually manifests as a severe cough that develops during a common cold. It is generally over within two weeks. Children and adolescents are more often affected than adults.
In some cases bronchitis can persist, e.g. if there is a pre-existing chronic disease. Older people or smokers are also at risk of the disease lingering. Chronic bronchitis is commonly defined as the disease persisting for more than three consecutive months over two consecutive years. In this case it is essential that you consult a specialist.
