there are many diseases that can be obstructive airway diseases.. cbabe is the acronym for the diseases, bronchitis, cystic fibrosis, asthma, emphysema are copd diseases. inside your lungs there are little pockets called aveoli and for gas exchanges these aveoli fill with the air you breath and if they are damaged from disease there will be prblems with airway exchange. with obstructive disease the aveoli are streched out of shape and not reparable. this causes airway trapping , basicly the person breathes in air and because the aveoli are all streched out the air gets traped inside the lungs. \nthat is obstructive airway, then you also have the other problelms associated with the actual disease that you have,. example with asthma you have increased mucous production in the airways, the airways constrict during an ashtma attack and you haveinflamation in the lungs.\nthey need to do pulmonary function test, and more evaluations to find out what kind of obstructive disease she has... i hope everything works out for her

Bronchitis\n\nBronchitis is an inflammation or obstruction in the trachea (windpipe) and the large bronchi (air passages) of the respiratory tract. Bronchitis can be caused by a bacterial or viral infection, or it can be triggered by an allergic reaction to molds, pollens, dander or dust. Bronchitis is divided into acute and chronic, with chronic bronchitis being a permanent condition that's usually caused by smoking.\n\nSigns and Symptoms:\n\nRunny nose \nFever \nDry cough \nWheezing \nPain in chest and/or back \nFatigue \nSore throat \nSudden chills \nShaking \nOccasionally bronchospasm (a contraction of the walls of the bronchi) may occur \nLater stages ­ coughing brings up clear sputum at first and later thick, yellow sputum. \nAllergic bronchitis is often worse at night \nChronic bronchitis is characterized by a persistent dry cough without other symptoms. \nDiagnosis:\n\nYour doctor will listen to your chest for wheezing sounds. He or she may also order several different lab tests to rule out other potentially serious respiratory conditions. These tests might include:\n\nSputum culture (to look for pneumonia and/or tuberculosis) \nWhite blood cell count \nGamma M immunoglobulin-specific conjugate (which detects current infection) \nChest X ray to rule out pneumonia, heart failure, or pneumothorax complications \nChest X ray for bronchovascular markings with chronic bronchitis \nPulmonary function test \nElectrocardiogram for differential diagnosis of chest pain \nPulmonary function tests \nTreatment Options:\n\nAcute bronchitis is usually treated effectively with traditional therapies. However, chronic bronchitis is still incurable and often responds better to alternative treatments.\n\nTraditional Treatments:\n\nWhen in the dry cough stage, a cough suppressant may be all that's needed. Dextromethoraphan is common in many over-the-counter cough preparations. The initials "DM" on the label can identify Dextromethoraphn-containing cough suppressants. \nAn expectorant is needed for a wet cough. Guaifenesin is one of the most common and can be found in Donatussin, Meditussin, and Robitussin, among others. Expectorants help thin secretions so that they are easier to cough out. \nA bronchodilator, such as metaproterenol (Alupent) or albuterol (Proventil, Ventolin) may be prescribed to relax the airways, stop wheezing and ease breathing. This is generally the only treatment that is effective for chronic bronchitis. \nIn cases where your doctor believes that the bronchitis might be caused by a bacterial infection, he or she will most likely prescribe an antibiotic. \nComplementary and Alternative Therapies:\n\nAlthough traditional treatments work extremely effectively in cases of acute bronchitis, some people still prefer to follow alternative therapies. There are also some alternative therapies that will help speed the effectiveness of traditional treatments and help lessen side effects.\n\nIn cases of chronic bronchitis, alternative therapies may be the only viable option.\n\nNutritional Supplementation:\n\nIf you must take antibiotics, be sure to take supplemental acidophilus and/or bifidobacteria to restore healthy intestinal flora. Follow the directions on the label. Be sure to select a dairy-free product if you are allergic to milk. \nBeta-carotene helps to heal mucus membranes. Take 5,000 IU three times daily until you recover. \nVitamin C and bioflavonoids have anti-inflammatory properties. Take 500 mg of each three times a day until symptoms subside. \nZinc helps to boost the immune system and speed recovery. Take 15 mg twice a day for as long as symptoms last. Take zinc with food to prevent stomach upset. You can also try zinc lozenges which help to stimulate immunity and fight viral infections that cause bronchitis, colds, and flu. \nWarning: Do not take more than 100 mg of zinc per a day from all supplemental sources. \nQuercetin is capable of antioxidant activity and has the ability to fight again

It is called phlegm or mucus.

It is an ancient disease that usually involves the respratory system, specially the lungs. In symptomatic patiants who have caugh and sputum, and are not on medical therapy the bacteria (mycobacterium tuberclosis) spreads in the air and floats for a while if you inhale the air immediatly some bacteria may enter your lungs. If your immunity compromises the bacteria may find the opportunity to produce disease in your body.\nOnly in very close and prolonged contacts with patiants infection results. so do not worry too much.

think about it, its the trachea and bronchial surfaces that contain the dust trapping mucus and the cilia which then transfer the dust to the throat to be swallowed.\n\nif these surfaces are damaged in any way (smoking being a big issue here) then any microbes inhaled will have more chance of getting past the defences and into oxygen rich, warm and moist environments deeper into the lungs

The idiopathic infiltrative lung diseases, also known as interstitial lung diseases, are a group of more than a hundred disorders seen in both adults and (less often) in children, whose cause is unknown but which tend to spread, or "infiltrate" through much or all of the lung tissue. They range from mild conditions that respond well to treatment, to progressive, nonresponsive disease states that severely limit lung function and may cause death.  By definition, the causes of idiopathic infiltrative lung diseases are not known. Some forms of pulmonary fibrosis, however, do have specific causes and these may provide a clue as to what may cause idiopathic diseases. Known causes of pulmonary fibrosis include diseases that impair the body's immune function; infection by viruses and the bacterium causing tuberculosis; and exposure to such mineral dusts as silica or asbestos, or such organic materials as bird droppings. Other cases of pulmonary fibrosis result from exposure to fumes and vapors, radiation (in industry or medically), and certain drugs used to treat disease.  http://www.ahealthyme.com/article/gale/100084763

Do you mean phlegm? That is mucous.\n\nConcern the eye how? If you eye is making green puss, bloodshot and weepy, then you need to see a doctor. You probably have conjuntivitis and need a Rx eyedrop.

TB)\nwww.tallpoppies.net.au/florey/glossary/main-content.html\n\nan infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis that typically affects the lungs (pulmonary TB), but may also occur in other organs (extrapulmonary TB). TB infection refers to asymptomatic, latent infection with TB bacteria; active TB disease refers to symptoms caused by replicating bacteria.\nwww.aegis.com/pubs/beta/1999/be990414.html\nwww.babycenter.com/glossary/T\nhttp://www.osha.gov/SLTC/tuberculosis/

The cause of cystic fibrosis is related to an abnormality in the gene found on chromosome 7. The cause of cystic fibrosis is inherited in an autosomal resessive (pertaining to a chromosome that is not a sex chromosome) fashion.\n\nCystic fibrosis is seen most commonly in Caucasians.\n\n The cause of cystic fibrosis results in a decrease in chloride secretion across membranes and epithelial surfaces, associated with excess of sodium resorption.\n\n This results in thick secretions in the respiratory tract, and pancreas. These patients also develop dysfunctional male reproductive tracts characterized by obstruction of the vas deferens (vas deferens is a narrow, muscular tube that connects the testicles to the urethra).

It IS "Pneumonia", and can be caused by a bacterium, usually Streptococcus pneumoniae, also called pneumococcus.\n\nHope that is what you were looking for.
