The 3rd of May marks World Asthma Day – a global initiative aimed at improving asthma awareness and care across the globe.
While most people know a bit about asthma, very few are aware of asthma-COPD overlap syndrome (ACOS) – a condition that often goes undiagnosed.
When a patient has clinical features (symptoms) of both asthma and COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) it is known as ACOS.
