    Abstract Objectives: To describe the uncommon causes of cough.
    Design/methodology: An English language literature search by MEDLINE citations from 1975 through 2004 was used to identify publications on uncommon pulmonary and nonpulmonary disorders in which cough was present as the major or presenting symptom in >50% of those persons affected by the uncommon diseases.
    Results: A substantial number of uncommon or rare pulmonary and nonpulmonary disorders were identified. The uncommon occurrence of these diseases made it difficult to develop a meaningful evidence-based guideline to the diagnosis and therapy of many of the uncommon causes of cough. As cough was the major or presenting symptom, it was usually initially attributed to common respiratory diseases (eg, asthma or bronchitis). As a result, a substantial time lag existed from the onset of cough to the diagnosis of the etiologic entity. Diagnostic tests limited to the respiratory system did not always provide clues to the diagnosis of uncommon causes of cough.
    Conclusions: Cough is the major or presenting symptom in many uncommon pulmonary and nonpulmonary disorders. A strong index of suspicion is essential to consider and diagnose the uncommon causes of cough. The diagnosis and management of cough in patients with uncommon causes of cough is dependent on the underlying etiology.

    Abstract The erythropoietic system plays a major role in tissue oxygenation because the erythrocytes are the primary carriers of oxygen in the form of oxyhemoglobin. Therefore, clinical entities such as abnormal hemoglobins, polycythemia, anemia, and significant changes in blood volume frequently produce alterations in various respiratory functions. The pulmonary manifestations can vary from mild respiratory illness to life-threatening emergencies with high mortality rates. Among the hemoglobinopathies, sickle cell disease is clinically the most important and commonly associated with serious pulmonary consequences, including acute chest syndrome, pneumonia, infarction due to in situ thrombosis, bone marrow fat embolism of pulmonary vasculature, bone marrow infarction, pulmonary hypertension, and other abnormalities. Hemoglobinopathies with high and low affinity for oxygen and other abnormal hemoglobinopathies occasionally cause clinically significant respiratory complications by interfering with normal tissue oxygenation. Acquired methemoglobinemia can cause alarming cyanosis and medical emergency. Erythrocyte disorders are associated with pulmonary complications, including pulmonary hypertension, alveolar fibrosis, and pulmonary dysfunction. Coagulation disorders, both the inherited and acquired types, have the potential to affect the respiratory system in the form of hemorrhage from the airways, lung parenchyma, or pulmonary hypertension. The following paragraphs describe the common pulmonary complications and manifestations associated with hemoglobinopathies, erythrocyte disorders, and coagulation abnormalities.

    Abstract Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis is a rare pulmonary disorder of unknown etiology characterized by intra-alveolar development and deposition of microliths or calcispherytes consisting of calcium phosphate. Approximately 400 cases of this rare disorder have been described in the literature. The age range of patients is from newborn to 80 years, with a mean age at diagnosis of about 35 years. No sexual predominance has been noted. In about half of the reported cases, a familial pattern has been found, with the disease usually affecting the siblings. The progression of the disease is generally very slow, some patients having been followed up for more than 30 years without evidence of change. Pulmonary function studies demonstrate a tendency toward a restrictive pattern. Chest roentgenography, high-resolution computed tomographic chest scan, and technetium-99m lung scan are useful in the diagnosis. A definitive diagnosis can be established by bronchoalveolar lavage or lung biopsy. There is no known therapy for this unusual disorder. In patients who develop progressive respiratory insufficiency and cor pulmonale, lung transplantations have been performed.

    Abstract Tracheobronchopathia osteochondroplastica (TPO) is an uncommon benign disease of unknown etiology characterized by multiple cartilaginous or bony submucosal nodules, which project into the tracheobronchial lumen. The nodules originate in the airway cartilages and thus typically spare the posterior membranous wall of the airways. The disorder is more common in men and the diagnosis is usually made in the fourth through sixth decades of life. There is no relationship to smoking or other systemic disorders. The disease is manifested by chronic cough and wheezing, which frequently lead to the mistaken diagnosis of asthma. Other pulmonary symptoms include dyspnea and hemoptysis. One of the complications is the increased incidence of recurrent respiratory infections. The pulmonary symptoms and complications are the consequence of narrowing and thickening of the airway walls. Even though roentgenologic imaging studies may indicate the diagnosis, bronchoscopy is the most definitive diagnostic test. The bronchoscopic appearance alone is diagnostic of the disease, and biopsy of the airway lesions is seldom, if ever, required. Although there is no specific therapy for this disorder, management of tracheobronchopathia osteochondroplastica includes bronchodilators, prompt treatment of pulmonary infections, and bronchoscopic dilatation when indicated.

    Abstract Sarcoidosis is a common disease and affects the respiratory system in > 90% of cases, most commonly the intrathoracic lymph nodes and the respiratory parenchyma. Less commonly, the airways are involved, and the disease is manifested as mucosal erythema, edema, granularity and cobblestoning, plaques, nodules, and bronchial stenosis, airway distortion, traction bronchiectasis, and bronchiolitis. Airway involvement may lead to airflow limitation. Involvement of oral, nasal, and pharyngeal mucosa may cause hoarseness, dysphagia, laryngeal paralysis, and upper airway obstruction. Airway symptoms are important indicators of airway involvement in sarcoidosis. Pulmonary function testing, radiologic imaging, and bronchoscopy occupy a significant role in the diagnosis and management of airway involvement in patients with sarcoidosis.
