https://doi.org/10.20538/1682-0363-2023-1-164-169

Abstract

The article presents a clinical case of a 51-year-old patient first seeking medical care with complaints of paroxysmal cough bringing up bronchial casts. The diagnosis of plastic bronchitis was verified. The disease which has not been well described in the literature, difficulty of verifying the underlying diagnosis due to polysymptomatic clinical presentation characterized by the mortality rate of 50–80%, COVID-19 coinfection, resistance to therapy, and little concern of medical specialists determine the relevance and value of this clinical case.
