Pathophysiology of Respiratory Diseases

This document provides a classification and overview of respiratory diseases according to anatomical site, etiology, pathogenesis, symptoms, investigations, and specific conditions. It begins by classifying respiratory diseases according to the upper or lower respiratory tract and according to congenital, infectious, neoplastic, and other causes. Specific conditions covered in more detail include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), emphysema, bronchitis, pneumonia, pulmonary embolism, tuberculosis, and restrictive lung diseases. The document discusses the pathogenesis, risk factors, symptoms and prognosis of these conditions.
