Article Synopsis
- Cough variant asthma (CVA) is a type of asthma where cough is the main symptom, often occurring without wheezing or shortness of breath and normal pulmonary function tests.
- CVA affects about 25% of patients with chronic cough and is characterized by normal baseline lung function, positive bronchial challenges, and effectiveness of traditional asthma treatments.
- The exact cause of cough in CVA is still unclear, but treatments for regular asthma successfully control the cough, and most patients manage well with consistent inhaled corticosteroid therapy.
