The purpose of this study was to investigate the nature of cough in patients with different types of tuberculosis (TB) and chronic nonspecific lung diseases (CNSLD). A total of 120 patients were selected from the outpatient department of a tertiary care hospital in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, between September 2019 and December 2021. Cough nature was assessed by recording its duration, frequency, intensity, and associated symptoms. The results showed that patients with TB had a higher frequency and intensity of cough compared to those with CNSLD. Patients with pulmonary TB had a longer duration of cough compared to those with extrapulmonary TB. Patients with TB also reported more symptoms such as hemoptysis and fever. The findings suggest that a thorough assessment of cough nature in patients with TB and CNSLD can help in the early diagnosis and management of these diseases.
