Abstract
This chapter covers the main presentations of respiratory disease, breathlessness, cough, sputum production, haemoptysis, wheeze and chest pain. It shows how the diagnosis can be derived from a careful history and examination and relatively simple investigations using the knowledge of pathology and pathophysiology underlying each problem.
