Zusammenfassung
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the role of acidic, non-acidic reflux events in patients with chronic cough. Patients, methods: Twenty-two patients (M/F 3/19) mean age 46 (22–71) years, with therapy resistant chronic cough lasting more than 8 weeks with or without typical reflux symptoms were enrolled into the study. Patients had been extensively investigated by pulmonologists before referral. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, 24-hours simultaneous multichannel intraluminal impedance (MII) and dual-sensor pH-monitoring were performed. Results: Endoscopy revealed erosive esophagitis in 32% of patient…
