Chronic obstructive lung disease

Japanese: chronic obstructive lung disease（英語表記）chronicobstructivelungdisease

…The British physician CMFletcher proposed the criterion that "cough and phlegm last for more than three months a year, and continue for at least two years (two winters)" (1959). However, there are many chronic respiratory diseases that show such symptoms, and in particular, the group of diseases called chronic obstructive lung disease (abbreviated as COLD) includes chronic bronchitis, emphysema, bronchial asthma, and diffuse panbronchiolitis, all of which are characterized by more or less persistent cough and phlegm. The same is true for bronchiectasis. …

From [Obstructive Pulmonary Disease]

...As a result of joint research by scholars from both countries, it was discovered that American emphysema and British chronic bronchitis are almost the same thing. In 1958, the Chiba-Guest Symposium proposed the general term chronic nonspecific lung disease, and in 1965 the American Thoracic Society gave it the name chronic obstructive lung disease (abbreviated as COLD), which is now widely used. Later, Fletcher CM Flecher and Burrows B. Burrows proposed that COLD be classified into type A (emphysema type) and type B (bronchitis type) based on clinical findings, and these diseases are often treated under this classification in foreign countries. ...

…そこで両国の学者による共同研究の結果，アメリカの肺気腫とイギリスの慢性気管支炎とはほぼ同じものであることがわかってきた。1958年にはチバ･ゲスト･シンポジウムで慢性非特異性肺疾患chronic nonspecific lung diseaseという総称名が提唱され，さらに65年アメリカ胸部疾患学会から，慢性閉塞性肺疾患chronic obstructive lung disease(COLDと略す)という名称が与えられ，今日広く普及している。その後，フレッチャーC.M.FlecherやバローズB.Burrowsらによって，COLDは臨床所見からA型(気腫型)とB型(気管支炎型)に分類されることが提唱され，外国ではこのような分類下でこれらの疾患が取り扱われることが多い。…
