In case of the negative methacholine challenge, induced sputum eosinophil count was evaluated in order to confirm or exclude NAEB. NAEB was diagnosed when sputum eosinophilia exceeded 3 % of nonsquamous cells (Brightling 2006). UACS includes chronic rhinitis and rhinosinusitis. The diagnosis of chronic rhinosinusitis required the presence of clinical symptoms defined in the EPOS document and changes in computer tomography sinus scan evaluated according to the Lund and Mackay score (Fokkens et al.

Since as much as 60 % of our patients had earlier been diagnosed or treated because of cough, we may suppose that the patients might have particularly ‘difficult to treat’ cough.
