Cough. 2013 Mar 6;9(1):9. doi: 10.1186/1745-9974-9-9.
Cough is a common symptom in people who develop interstitial lung diseases (ILD). The pathological features of the ILDs are many and varied suggesting that the cause of cough may also vary with each disease. This article reviews what is currently known about cough in sarcoidosis and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis; two of the commonest ILDs. It also outlines some of the theories which have been proposed to explain why cough develops in these conditions and describes what little is known about how to treat it.
咳嗽是间质性肺疾病(ILD)患者的常见症状。ILD的病理特征多种多样,这表明咳嗽的原因可能因每种疾病而异。本文综述了目前关于结节病和特发性肺纤维化这两种最常见的ILD中咳嗽的已知情况。它还概述了一些为解释这些情况下咳嗽为何发生而提出的理论,并描述了关于如何治疗咳嗽的鲜为人知的情况。
