Advancements in Tuberculosis and Lung Diseases

The progressive lung condition known as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by persistent respiratory symptoms and restricted airflow. Breathlessness and a cough that may or may not produce mucus are the prominent symptoms. Getting dressed or walking becomes harder as COPD worsens. Although COPD is incurable, it can be avoided and treated.

Emphysema and chronic bronchitis are the two diseases that cause COPD the most frequently.
