Common respiratory diseases and disorders are described including their signs and symptoms, causes, diagnostic procedures, treatment options and prevention methods. Pneumonia is an acute inflammation of the lungs that can be caused by bacteria or viruses. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a functional diagnosis given to any pathological process that decreases lung function, such as emphysema or chronic bronchitis, often due to smoking or air pollution. Asthma is characterized by recurrent attacks of wheezing and shortness of breath triggered by factors like allergens or infections.
