Proton pump inhibitor-responsive chronic cough without acid reflux: a case report
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Because 24-h esophageal pH monitoring is quite invasive, the diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)-associated cough has usually been made based merely on the clinical efficacy of treatment with proton pump inhibitor (PPI).</p> <p>Case presentation</p> <p>We recently encountered two patients with PPI-responsive chronic non-productive cough for whom switching from bronchodilators and glucocorticosteroids to PPI resulted in improvement of cough. The cough returned nearly to pre-administration level a few weeks after discontinuation of PPI. Though GERD-associated cough was suspected, 24-h esophageal pH monitoring revealed that the cough rarely involved gastric acid reflux. Following re-initiation of PPI, the cough disappeared again.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>PPI may improve cough unrelated to gastric acid reflux.</p
