Essa categoria inclui anormalidades de quantidade, cor e odor do escarro, que podem sugerir etiologia. Pacientes com bronquite crônica tipicamente expectoram pequenas quantidades de material mucoide amarelado. Um odor desagradável ou fétido deve sugerir infecção por organismos anaeróbicos, usualmente em casos de abscesso pulmonar. Ocasionalmente, grandes quantidades de escarro ou "broncorreia" são associadas com carcinoma bronquioalveolar. | |||
