Using illustrative case examples, this book thoroughly reviews similarities and differences between asthma, chronic obstructivepulmonary disease (COPD) and the overlap syndrome. It is important to highlight the distinctions because these commonlyencountered conditions in respiratory and primary care share many similarities but have important differences often mistaken for eachother. This can have serious implications for treatment particularly as new treatments are targeted at specific phenotypes of thediseases. This practical guide will show how to distinguish between the diseases on a pathological and clinical basis so thatappropriate management and treatment may be pursued.
