   摘要：
   咳嗽是患者就医最常见的主诉之一。咳嗽的误诊和误治在中国普遍存在。在社区，因上呼吸道感染导致的急性咳嗽的患病率为9%～64%，而在大多数的调查中慢性咳嗽的患病率>10%，范围为7.2%～33%。慢性咳嗽的常见原因是上气道咳嗽综合征(以前被称为后鼻滴流综合症[PNDS])、咳嗽变应性哮喘(CVA)、胃食管反流性咳嗽(GERD)和嗜酸粒细胞性支气管炎(EB)。在中国、英国和美国，咳嗽的常见原因存在地区差异和性别分布差异。中国慢性咳嗽的最常见原因是CVA，依次为UACS、EB和变应性咳嗽(AC)，中国男性与女性患者数量相当。咳嗽的危险因素包括冷空气、吸烟、环境污染物、有毒物质和过敏原、以及不合理的饮食习惯。

The common causes of chronic cough are upper airway cough syndrome (previously called as post nasal drip syndrome [PNDS]), cough variant asthma (CVA), gastroesophageal reflux related cough (GERD) and eosinophilic bronchitis (EB).
