Early onset cough
Purulent mucus production
Mild episodes of dyspnea

Key features of pulmonary emphysema include dyspnea that is often marked. late cough (after onset of dyspnea). scant mucus production. and marked weight loss. By contrast. chronic bronchitis is characterized by an early onset of cough (before dyspnea). copious purulent mucus production. minimal weight loss. and milder severity of dyspnea.
