Asthma, COPD, and overlap : a case-based overview of similarities and differences [E-Book]
- 1 online resource (294 pages) : illustrations (colour)
Also issued in print: 2018.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Using illustrative case examples, this book thoroughly reviews similarities and differences between asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and the overlap syndrome. It is important to highlight the distinctions because these commonly encountered conditions in respiratory and primary care share many similarities but have important differences often mistaken for each other. This can have serious implications for treatment, particularly as new treatments are targeted at specific phenotypes of the diseases.
