Don't be scared. We promise that it will be the only time that we present the entire possible litany of respiratory pathologies together.

Although it does not hurt to have it at a single glance.

Here we leave it:

Diseases of the respiratory system are classified as follows:

Acute respiratory infections:

Acute nasopharyngitis (common cold),

Acute sinusitis,

acute pharyngitis,

acute tonsillitis,

Acute laryngitis and tracheitis,

Acute multisite or unspecified infections.

Acute bronchitis

acute bronchiolitis

Other upper tract diseases

Deviated nasal septum (acquired)

nasal polyp

Nasopharyngitis and chronic pharyngitis.

Chronic sinusitis.

Chronic diseases of the tonsils and adenoids

peritonsillar abscess

Chronic laryngitis and laryngotracheitis

Allergic rhinitis

Other diseases.

Pneumonia and flu (for different reasons)

Pneumonia and flu (for different reasons)

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and associated diseases

Bronchitis not specified as acute or chronic

التهاب الشعب الهوائية المزمن

Emphysema

Asthma

Bronchiectasis

extrinsic allergic alveolitis

Chronic airway obstruction, not elsewhere classified.

Pneumoconiosis and other lung diseases caused by external agents:

Coal workers' pneumoconiosis

asbestosis

Pneumoconiosis due to other silica or silicates

Pneumoconiosis due to other inorganic dust

Pneumopathy due to inhalation of other types of dust

Unspecified pneumoconiosis

Respiratory conditions due to inhalation of gases, fumes, vapors and chemical substances

Solid and liquid pneumonitis

Respiratory conditions due to other external agents

Other diseases of the respiratory system:

empyema

Pleurisy

Pneumothorax

Lung and mediastinal abscesses

Pulmonary congestion and hypostasis

Postinflammatory pulmonary fibrosis

Other alveolar or parietoalveolar lung disease:

Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis

Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis

Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis

Idiopathic interstitial pneumonia:

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

Idiopathic lymphoid interstitial pneumonia…

Lymphangioleiomyomatosis

Adult pulmonary Langerhans cell histocytosis

Interstitial lung diseases of childhood

Other alveolar and parietoalveolar lung diseases

Pulmonary disease in diseases classified elsewhere

Other lung diseases:

lung collapse

interstitial emphysema

compensatory emphysema

pulmonary eosinophilia

Acute pulmonary edema, unspecified

Pulmonary insufficiency after trauma or surgery

Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis

Post-transfusion acute lung injury

Other:

Acute or chronic respiratory failure

Other diseases of the respiratory system:

Tracheostomy complications

Other diseases of the bronchi and trachea:

acute bronchospasm

mediastinitis

Diaphragmatic disorders

Other diseases

In addition, there are pathologies that have a great affectation at the level of the respiratory system but that are not classified as a respiratory disease, as is the case of:

Cystic Fibrosis (Classified as endocrine, nutritional and metabolic disease within metabolic disorders)

Of all the pathologies mentioned above, there are some that can be prevented, while others, due to their genetic origin, cannot. The following chapters of our prevention content cycle will be dedicated to analyzing how we can prevent the appearance of any of them.
