John PY - 2017 T2 - Tintinalli's Emergency Medicine Manual, 8e AB - Acute bronchitis is a commonly encountered, self-limited, infection producing inflammatory changes within the larger airways. Sharing the viral pathogens of upper respiratory infections, including those of the common cold, acute bronchitis is often caused by one of the following: influenza A or B virus, adenovirus, rhinovirus, parainfluenza virus, respiratory syncytial virus, or coronavirus. Far less frequent in etiology, the bacterial pathogens Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, Chlamydia pneumoniae, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and Bordatella pertussis may lead to more severe presentations in older populations, especially in those with increased comorbidities.
