Bernatsky Symptom

Bernacki's symptom is a symptom that was described by the Polish physician Jerzy Bernacki in 1866. This symptom is used to diagnose diseases of the lungs and respiratory tract.

Bernack's symptom manifests itself in the form of a cough, which intensifies with a deep breath. This occurs because taking a deep breath forces air deeper into the lungs, which can cause irritation in the airways.

To diagnose lung disease using the Bernatsky symptom, the doctor examines the patient and asks him to take a deep breath and hold his breath for a few seconds. If a patient develops a cough, this may be a sign of lung disease.

However, it should be noted that this symptom is not the only method for diagnosing lung diseases, and additional research is necessary for an accurate diagnosis.



Bernacki's symptom Bernacki's symptom is a clinical sign first described by the Polish physician Jerzy Bernacki in 1896. It is characterized by an increase in the size of the supraclavicular lymphatic tissue when coughing and sneezing.

To test for this symptom, the doctor may ask the patient to close their eyes, hold their breath for a few seconds, and then cough or sneeze. At this time, the doctor tries to palpate the supraclavicular lymphatic tissue located behind the collarbones. If it is increased, the doctor may assume the presence of an infectious process in the upper respiratory tract and prescribe appropriate treatment.
