you need to do some studying yourself to find out as much about this subject as you can. learn about the signs and symptoms, what the leading causes of it are, what tests are done to detect it, and what the treatment is for it.

here is a list of weblinks where you can search for information about "chronic bronchitis". these sites are designed for the consumer (lay public) and not so much for professionals. the way you will find these sites set up will be a good way for you to organize your own presentation.
