   摘要
   三种常见情况可引起慢性咳嗽：哮喘、鼻后滴流和反流性疾病。在不同的模式中，咳嗽被认为是传入神经高敏感性和这一综合征多样性的基本状态，在不同表型的咳嗽中表现明显。将咳嗽高敏感性作为独立诊断有多种益处；有助于与患者交流、不必严格限制病因、开发新的治疗途径。咳嗽高敏感性综合征为这一类临床表现提供了一个更为实用的诊断。

Chronic cough hypersensitivity syndrome.

Morice AH.

Abstract
Chronic cough has been suggested to be due to three conditions, asthma, post nasal drip, and reflux disease. A different paradigm has evolved in which cough is viewed as the primary condition characterised by afferent neuronal hypersensitivity and different aspects of this syndrome are manifest in the different phenotypes of cough. There are several advantages to viewing cough hypersensitivity as the unifying diagnosis; Communication with patients is aided, aetiology is not restricted and therapeutic avenues opened. Cough Hypersensitivity Syndrome is a more applicable label to embrace the clinical manifestations of this disabling disease.
