Publication at Faculty of Medicine in Hradec Králové |

Abstract

Some children with adequate treatment of bronchial asthma suffer from chronic cough that may be associated with troublesome psychological manifestations. It is reasonable to consider the posibility that cough may represent a form of somatoform disorder - psychogenic cough after other causes have been ruled out.
