Özet
The most common obstructive lung diseases observed during clinical practice include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. They share similarities in terms of clinical presentation. Asthma-COPD overlap is defined as an obstructive lung condition with clinical and inflammatory characteristics of asthma and COPD or predominantly COPD combined with bronchodilator responsiveness and elevated peripheral eosinophil count.
