Overlap Syndrome in Respiratory Medicine: Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are highly prevalent chronic diseases in the general population. Both are characterized by similar mechanisms: airway inflammation, airway obstruction, and airway hyperresponsiveness. However, the distinction between the two obstructive diseases is not always clear. Multiple epidemiological studies demonstrate that in elderly people with o...
متن کاملAsthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and the overlap syndrome.
Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are highly prevalent chronic diseases in the general population. Both are characterized by heterogeneous chronic airway inflammation and airway obstruction. In both conditions, chronic inflammation affects the whole respiratory tract, from central to peripheral airways, with different inflammatory cells recruited, different mediators produ...
متن کاملAsthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease overlap syndrome: An update
Although asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are two of the most common airway obstructive diseases in clinics, they differ from each other in clinical characteristics and pathogenesis. Asthma is a heterogeneous disease more likely to affect children and teenagers, often accompanied by allergic rhinitis, urticaria, and other allergic diseases, and associated with a family hi...
متن کاملPhenotype of asthma-chronic obstructive pulmonary disease overlap syndrome
Many patients with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have overlapping characteristics of both diseases. By spirometric definition, patients with both fixed airflow obstruction (AO) and bronchodilator reversibility or fixed AO and bronchial hyperresponsiveness can be considered to have asthma-COPD overlap syndrome (ACOS). However, patients regarded to have ACOS by spirometri...
