Overview
Differential Diagnosis
Bronchiolitis must be differentiated from other respiratory and cardiac diseases that can cause the same clinical manifestations.[1][2][3][4][5]
Adults
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- Hyperventilation syndrome and panic attacks
- Congestive heart failure
- Pulmonary embolism
- Laryngeal dysfunction
- Pulmonary aspiration
- Mechanical obstruction of the airways (benign and malignant tumors)
- Pulmonary infiltration with eosinophilia
- Diffuse parenchymal lung diseases
- Cough, secondary to drugs (ACE inhibitors)[6]
- Vocal cord dysfunction[2]
- Pharyngitis
Infants & Children
Upper airway diseases
Obstructions involving large airways
- Foreign body in trachea or bronchus
- Vocal cord dysfunction
- Vascular rings or laryngeal webs
- Laryngotracheomalacia, tracheal stenosis, or bronchostenosis
- Enlarged lymph nodes or tumor[2]
Obstructions involving small airways
Other causes
- Congenital heart diseases
- Recurrent cough not due to asthma
- Aspiration from swallowing mechanism
- Gastroesophageal reflux[2]
