Cold viruses are supposed being carried to the back to the throat where they are deposited in the sector of the glandular one. Lymph gland which contains the cells to which the cold viruses attach. These viruses become airborne when infected sneezes of a person and with less degree when him or coughs.

The allergens (pollen, particles of dust) are also releases of non-infectious bronchitis, making reproduce the disease on a regular basis of time. Infectious bronchitis comprises the infection of the micro-organisms and its produced symptoms are usually more intense. This type of bronchitis is caused by bacteria or a virus.

In the children, the most common cause of bronchitis is a virus, unlike in adults when the bacteria can also cause bronchitis. The bacteria can be a cause for bronchitis in the children, but only for those which take place more than six years. Moreover, in the children acute bronchitis is a soft disease and does not need any special treatment. In almost all the cases, acute bronchitis is the result of the cold or an infection of the respiratory system, mainly the higher part. Acute bronchitis can also develop to the children and the people who suffer from the allergies or the sinusitis. Chronic bronchitis is a type of COPD (the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).
