[Update in pneumology].
The end of the century has not brought any great modification in pneumology therapy. Prospective studies in asthma using combined therapeutic approaches, systemic or local steroid treatment in mild or moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or itraconazole in allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis are summarized in this review. Innovation is coming from radiology, with confirmation of the interest of positive-emission tomography for the preoperative stage of lung cancer.
