This nhn Bronchitis Guide includes information about Acute Bronchitis, Chronic Bronchitis, Asthmatic Bronchitis, and Chronic Asthmatic Bronchitis that is written primarily to help Bronchitis Patients better understand their condition and the range of Bronchitis treatment options that are currently available:
There are several ways to classify the stages of progression of Bronchitis. In this guide we consider 3 Stages in characterizing the progression of Acute Bronchitis, and recognize the GOLD Classification of Stages in the progression of Chronic Bronchitis:
The 3 Stages of Acute Bronchitis are recognized primarily by the passage of Time since the onset of Symptoms, and in particular by the Character of the Cough:
Acute Bronchitis Stage 1
Early Stage Acute Bronchitis is characterized by a several symptoms including a Dry, Non-Productive Cough.
Acute Bronchitis Stage 2
As the viral infection that causes Acute Bronchitis spreads into the lower respiratory tract, and increased Mucus production is experienced, the Cough may become Productive. Typically Sputum will be clear or white. Yellow-gray or green sputum is usually taken to be indicative of a bacterial infection.
Acute Bronchitis Stage 3
In most patients, the viral infection usually clears within a few days. However, in the final Stage, known as Post-Bronchitis Syndrome, patients often Continue to Cough for several more weeks as the damage to the walls of their airways requires more time to be healed.
Chronic Bronchitis & Chronic Asthmatic Bronchitis are now referred to as underlying conditions of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Most COPD patients suffer from both Chronic Bronchitis and also Emphysema.
The progression of COPD is usually assessed by considering the specific COPD Symptoms exhibited, and a quantifiable parameter known as Lung Function.
Following the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) classification, the progression of COPD may be assessed across 4 Stages:
Additionally, the Cleveland Clinic Center for Continuing Education recognises the GOLD classification and compares it with 3 other classification systems for defining the stages of progression of COPD.
