Ashfaq Hasan, Priyanka Mukherjee, Sushmeeta Chhowala, Meena Lopez, Prashant N ChhajedLung India 2021 38(4):350-358
Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are common chronic respiratory diseases characterized by an inflammatory process that extends from the central to peripheral airways.

Definitive therapeutic management protocol including thromboembolic prophylaxis and development of effective immune-modulatory target could possibly reduce mortality in severely ill patients.
