Overview

Chronic respiratory disease (CRD) is a medical condition that affects the lungs, bronchi, and other parts of the respiratory system. It is usually long lasting and can be disabling. It can be caused by a range of factors, including bacteria, viruses, and environmental pollutants. Symptoms may range from mild with shortness of breath or wheezing to severe with difficulty breathing, fatigue, and coughing. Treatment options include pharmaceutical drugs, inhalers, and lifestyle modifications, depending on the severity. CRD is a major public health issue, causing significant morbidity and mortality, particularly in developing and lower-income countries. It is important to identify those at risk for CRD to ensure early diagnosis and timely treatments, which can improve the quality of life of those affected.
