Chronic Bronchitis Overview

Chronic bronchitis is a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) characterized by a productive cough lasting over 3 months within 2 years. Commonly, patients exhibit persistent productive cough, malaise, and excessive coughing-related symptoms such as chest or abdominal pain. The leading cause of chronic bronchitis is exposure to cigarette smoke through active smoking or passive inhalation. Other respiratory irritants like smog, industrial pollutants, and toxic chemicals can also trigger it. While bacterial or viral infections typically cause acute bronchitis, repeated exposure can lead to the chronic form. Influenza types A and B, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, and Mycoplasma pneumonia are predominant causative agents. Individuals with a history of respiratory conditions like asthma, cystic fibrosis, or bronchiectasis are more susceptible, as are those exposed to environmental pollutants like dust or airborne chemicals, including ammonia and sulfur dioxide. Chronic gastroesophageal reflux is a less common but documented cause. A hallmark symptom of chronic bronchitis is persistent coughing. The defining cough pattern includes its presence on most days for 3 months, occurring at least 2 times annually for 2 consecutive years. About 50% of patients experience productive coughs with sputum. It is believed to result from excessive mucus production by goblet cells due to overstimulation. Epithelial cells lining the airways release inflammatory mediators in response to harmful stimuli, contributing to the condition—regulatory substances such as angiotensin-converting enzymes and neutral endopeptidase decrease in release. The alveolar epithelium both triggers and is affected by the inflammatory process. During exacerbations, the bronchial mucous membrane becomes swollen and hyperemic, reducing mucociliary function. Pharmacological treatments consist of:

1. Bronchodilators: Short and long-acting β-adrenergic agonists and anticholinergics increase airway lumen, ciliary function, and mucous hydration.
2. Glucocorticoids: These reduce inflammation and mucus production. Inhaled corticosteroids enhance quality of life and reduce exacerbations but require careful use due to potential side effects.
3. Antibiotics: Generally not used for chronic bronchitis, but macrolides with anti-inflammatory properties might be considered.
4. Phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitors decrease inflammation and induce airway smooth muscle relaxation by preventing cyclic adenosine monophosphate degradation.

Chronic bronchitis leads to worsened airflow obstruction, declining lung function, and increased COPD risk. It heightens mortality and is associated with elevated serum IL8 and C-reactive protein levels, suggesting links to cardiac issues and other comorbidities. Quality of life is also significantly diminished by chronic bronchitis.
