Sažetak

Aim: Presentation of 15-year-old patient admitted to our Clinic because of chronic cough and esophagitis. Case report: A 15-year-old boy suffers from chronic cough along with swallowing difficulties. Diagnostic workup has been performed and a diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) with pathohistologically proven esophagitis has been made with significant improvement after completion of therapy, but cough stayed unchanged. The boy was examined by pulmologist and psychiatrist and they made a diagnosis of habitual cough; psychotherapy was started and resulted in improvement of symptoms. Conclusion: GERD presents with a broad spectrum of esophageal and extraeosphageal symptoms with chronic cough as an important one. Nevertheless, a cough from different origin, such as habitual cough, may cause GERD which must be included in differential diagnosis of patients to whom pharmacological treatment failed to help.
