Clinical aspects of obstructive lung disease.
Obstructive pulmonary diseases are diverse with an extensive differential diagnosis. Most cases can be diagnosed after a systematic evaluation that includes detailed history, physical examination, routine laboratory testing, radiologic and pulmonary physiologic tests. More specific studies are indicated only in a few patients.
