The article reports on a study which has examined airway wall thickness by CT in adult patients with chronic cough. The study found that walls of central airways are thickened in patients with cough variant asthma (CVA). It has also been found in the study that cough hypersensitivity is a characteristic feature of chronic dry cough. It also shows that the increase of thickness in CVA group was greater than in nonasthmatic chronic cough group.
