Chronic cough is a multifactorial condition, which, like asthma, can be associated with eosinophilic airway inflammation. In asthma, airway eosinophilia is believed to be mediated by cytokines such as interleukin-5 and granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF). The role of these cytokines in chronic cough is unclear.
