- Abstract
Plastic bronchitis is a rare disease characterized by chronic cough, dyspnea, airway obstruction, and expectorating rubber-like secretions. This entity is mostly seen in children predominantly in association with an underlying congenital heart disease. We present an adult case who was treated for asthma for two years and finally diagnosed with plastic bronchitis via bronchoscopy.
