Acute bronchitis is a very frequent diagnosis; however, other acute and chronic respiratory diseases may often be masked by it. Recurrent

acute bronchitis should always be a reason for a thorough examination of the respiratory tract including lung function testing. A number

of congenital disorders (cystic fibrosis, ciliary dyskinesia, immunodeficiency) can thus be revealed that may have gone undetected in

childhood. Common diagnoses after a thorough check-up include early stages of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or

bronchial asthma.

Keywords: acute bronchitis, diagnosis, treatment, antibiotics.
