Airway Obstruction

Apnea

Asthma - A respiratory condition marked by attacks of spasm in the bronchi of the lungs, causing difficulty in breathing. It is usually connected to allergic reaction or other forms of hypersensitivity.

Atelectasis  - Partial collapse or incomplete inflation of the lung.

Berylliosis - Poisoning by beryllium or beryllium compounds, especially by inhalation causing fibrosis of the lungs.

Bronchiolitis - Inflammation of the bronchioles.

Bronchiolit - It is Obliterans Organizing Pneumonia (BOOP)

Bronchitis  - Inflammation of the mucous membrane in the bronchial tubes. It typically causes bronchospasm and coughing.

Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia - The enlargement of an organ or tissue by the proliferation of cells of an abnormal type, as a developmental disorder or an early stage in the development of cancer.

Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome ( --> Sleep Apnea, Central)

Common Cold - A viral infection that starts in the upper respiratory tract, sometimes spreads to the lower structures, and may contribute secondary infections in the eyes or middle ears.

Empyema, Pleural - Accumulation of pus in a cavity of the body, usually in the pleura, which are the serous membranes covering the lungs.

Epiglottitis - Acute epiglottitis is a serious bacterial infection characterized by marked swelling of the epiglottis and high fever. The onset is usually abrupt, with high fever and breathing difficulties.

Pharyngitis - Inflammation of the pharynx, causing a sore throat.

Pertussis ( --> Whooping Cough ) - A contagious bacterial disease chiefly affecting children, characterized by convulsive coughs followed by a whoop.

Ondine Curse ( --> Sleep Apnea, Central) 

Kartagener's Syndrome 

Lung Diseases, Interstitial 

Pleural Effusion - The inflammation of the pleura.

Pleurisy - Inflammation of the pleurae, which impairs their lubricating function and causes pain when breathing. It is caused by pneumonia and other diseases of the chest or abdomen.

Pneumonia - Lung inflammation caused by bacterial or viral infection, in which the air sacs fill with pus and may become solid. Inflammation may affect both lungs (double pneumonia) or only one (single pneumonia).

Pneumothorax - The presence of air or gas in the cavity between the lungs and the chest wall, causing collapse of the lung.

Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis - Respiratory disorder caused by the filling of large groups of alveoli with protein and lipid (fat) particles.

Pulmonary Embolism - An obstruction of blood flow to the lungs by an embolus in the pulmonary artery or in one of its branches--the affected person has difficulty breathing and experiences an unpleasant sensation beneath the breastbone.

Pulmonary Emphysema - A condition in which the air sacs of the lungs are damaged and enlarged, causing breathlessness.

Pulmonary Fibrosis

Rhinoscleroma 

Respiratory Distress Syndrome - Also called Idiopathic Respiratory DistressSyndrome, or Hyaline Membrane Disease, a common complication in infants, especially in premature newborns, characterized by extremely laboured breathing, cyanosis (a bluish tinge to the skin or mucous membranes), and abnormally low levels of oxygen in the arterial blood.

Silicosis - Chronic disease of the lungs that is caused by the inhalation of silica dust over long periods of time.

Stridor - A harsh vibrating noise when breathing, caused by obstruction of the windpipe or larynx.

Tracheal Stenosis - The abnormal narrowing of a passage in the body.

Wegener's Granulomatosis - Uncommon disorder marked by inflammation and necrosis (death of tissue) of small blood vessels.A runny nose, nosebleeds, and symptoms suggestive of chronic inflammation of the sinuses are among the first indications of the disease.

Whooping Cough - A contagious bacterial disease chiefly affecting children, characterized by convulsive coughs followed by a whoop. Also called pertussis.
