Defined: Chronic bronchitis is a form of COPD which also includes emphysema. If you have daily sputum production for 2 months or a smoker's cough, it's likely you have chronic bronchitis.

Category.,,,: COPD is the broader category and chronic bronchitis is a form of copd. So, by definition, if you have chronic bronchitis, you have a form of copd. There are other forms of copd, like emphysema. Therefore, you may still have COPD even if you don't have chronic bronchitis. See your doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
