[Chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases and asthma in children: diagnostic and therapeutic strategies].
Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are two distinct affections but two chronic inflammatory disorders. Respiratory symptoms are non-specific. There is a possible relationship between airways hyperreactivity and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Airway remodeling in asthma can begin in childhood. If natural history is different, treatment strategies become similar.
