Bronchitic
Definition:
(a.) Of or pertaining to bronchitis; as, bronchitic inflammation.

(18) In serum, 20% of chronic bronchitics had antibody levels greater than those observed in healthy adults.
(19) Even in bronchitic patients with reduced arterial oxygen tension there are no evidence that the skeletal muscles are working under more anaerobic conditions than in normal persons at the same relative work load.
(20) In this group of non-infected chronic bronchitic patients, S.C.M.C.
Bronchitis
Definition:
(n.) Inflammation, acute or chronic, of the bronchial tubes or any part of them.

(4) Four of the six, including the two with only chronic bronchitis, had no history of smoking.
(5) After controlling for FEV1, cough was still significantly associated with treatment for airway disease in general and both cough, mucus hypersecretion and chronic bronchitis were significantly associated with treatment for airway obstruction.
(6) The drug proved to be of high value in alleviating nocturnal coughing controlling spastic bronchitis in children, as a pretreatment before bronchological examinations and their anaesthesia.
