Resumo: Aims: To describe a child with psychogenic cough that was diagnosed as asthma. Case description: The patient was a female child, eight years old, with a recent diagnosis of persistent asthma. Laboratory evaluation and pulmonary function tests were normal. Psychogenic cough was diagnosed based on symptoms that did not occur during sleeping and by exclusion of others causes of cough. The treatment with anti-depressive and psychiatric support has improved the condition in few weeks. Conclusions: In spite of its low frequency, we must consider psychogenic cough in the differential diagnosis of persistent cough in children. It is necessary to evaluate several alternative disorders, considering that psychogenic cough is an exclusion diagnosis. Further studies are required for a better understanding and treatment of this condition. KEYWORDS: COUGH/diagnosis; COUGH/psychology; ASTHMA/diagnosis; CHRONIC DISEASE; CHILD; DIAGNOSIS, DIFFERENTIAL; CASE REPORTS [PUBLICATION TYPE].

Descrição do caso: paciente feminina, oito anos, com diagnóstico prévio de asma persistente, foi encaminhada para investigação e manejo ambulatorial. Os exames laboratoriais, de imagem e de função pulmonar encontravam-se normais. Foi realizado o diagnóstico de tosse psicogênica pela ausência de sintomas durante o sono e pela exclusão de outras causas. Após tratamento com medicamento antidepressivo e apoio psiquiátrico, a paciente apresentou resolução do quadro em poucas semanas. Conclusões: apesar de infreqüente, a tosse psicogênica deve sempre fazer parte do diagnostico diferencial de tosse crônica na infância. Por se tratar de um diagnóstico de exclusão, faz-se necessário pesquisar outras causas de tosse persistente antes de confirmar este diagnóstico. São necessários mais estudos para aperfeiçoar a abordagem e gerar mais evidências no manejo desta condição na infância.
