Infectious agents are a major cause of chronic bronchitis.|MEDLINEPLUS_20151021:Bronchitis is an inflammation of the bronchial tubes, the airways that carry air to your lungs. It causes a cough that often brings up mucus, as well as shortness of breath, wheezing, and chest tightness. There are two main types of bronchitis: <a href='https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/acutebronchitis.html'>acute</a> and chronic. Chronic bronchitis is one type of <a href='https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/copd.html'>COPD</a> (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). The inflamed bronchi produce a lot of mucus. This leads to cough and difficulty getting air in and out of the lungs. Cigarette <a href='https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/smoking.html'>smoking</a> is the most common cause. Breathing in other fumes and dusts over a long period of time may also cause chronic bronchitis. Treatment will help your symptoms, but chronic bronchitis is a long-term condition that keeps coming back or never goes away completely.
