To study the role of sputum cytology in patients with bronchial asthma and COPD

COPD is the major cause of morbidity and mortality across world. In addition to this, factor that contributing in this disease smoking. This kind problem occurs due airflow obstruction influences progressive accompanied hyper-responsiveness. The patients with Asthma overlap (ACO) have a poor quality life more rapid decline lung functions high mortality. Also, they consume disproportionate amount health care resources. Moreover, sputum cell counts are extensively used treatment asthma COPD. clinical application count both remain elusive. study aims role cytology Bronchial It was prospective carried out Department Pulmonary Medicine, D Y Patil Medical College, Nerul, Navimumbai, Maharashtra, India. period from January 2020 June 2021. number healthy recruited for current 20, along 20 asthmatic 30 patients.
