Respiratory system diseases are common and frequently occurring illnesses that seriously endanger human health, accounting for over one-third of outpatient visits in internal medicine clinics. Among these, upper respiratory tract infections caused by viruses account for 70% to 80%. The incidence rates of chronic bronchitis, as well as related chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and chronic cor pulmonale, have shown an increasing trend year by year. Tuberculosis has also made a resurgence, all of which pose severe harm to human health and quality of life. This book comprehensively and systematically elaborates on 10 common, frequently occurring, and highly severe respiratory diseases, covering aspects such as etiology and pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, laboratory and other auxiliary examinations, diagnostic key points, differential diagnosis, treatment, difficulties and countermeasures, experiences and insights, prognosis and outcomes, prevention and regulation, and modern research. The content is rich, the data is detailed, and the practicality is strong. The clinical treatment experiences in this book are summaries of decades of experience from the Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine. The therapeutic prescriptions recommended in the book are proven effective formulas from the hospital's long-standing clinical practices. The chapters on "Difficulties and Countermeasures," "Experiences and Insights," and "Commentaries" are the author's long-term clinical insights, medicinal experience, and sincere evaluations of treatment, serving as highlights that capture the essence. The book also includes sections such as "Master Experts' Proven Formulas," "Master Experts' Forum," and "Selected Medical Cases."
