Acute bronchitis must be differentiated from other causes of cough and wheezing including: acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis, asthma and pneumonia.

Differential Diagnosis of Acute Bronchitis

The acute bronchitis must be differentiated from other diseases that may cause cough, dyspnea and wheezing.[1]

Disease Findings
Chronic Bronchitis Presents with chronic cough, dyspnea and sputum production for more than three months for two years.[2]
Pneumonia Presents with acute fever, cough and shortness of breath, although pulmonary infiltrate on chest x-ray is an imaging finding.[3]
Asthma Presents with cough, dyspnea and wheezing and typically is a chronic condition which has started from childhood.[4]
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease May present with chronic, dry cough but the typical symptom is heart burn.[5][6]
