Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory lung disease that causes obstruction of airflow in the lungs. Symptoms include difficulty breathing, coughing, production of mucus (phlegm), and wheezing. It is usually caused by long-term exposure to irritating gases or particulate matter, most commonly cigarette smoke. People with COPD have an increased risk of heart disease, lung cancer, and several other conditions.

Emphysema and chronic bronchitis are the two most common conditions that cause COPD. The two conditions often occur together and can vary in severity among people with COPD. Chronic bronchitis is inflammation of the lining of the bronchial tubes, which carry air to and from the air sacs (alveoli) in the lungs. It is characterized by daily coughing and production of mucus (phlegm). Although COPD is a progressive disease that gets worse over time, it is treatable. With appropriate management, most patients with COPD can achieve good symptom control and quality of life and reduce the risk of other related conditions.

Regarding the treatment and diagnosis of Salto’s disease, it is worth noting that the situation created by the pandemic has led to delays in the control of patients with COPD. The high incidence of the disease necessitates thorough monitoring of the evolution of those affected, which the pandemic does not allow under normal circumstances.
