The second edition of this European Respiratory Society (ERS) Monograph aims to update developments since the first edition in 1995 and also includes new chapters. Most of the original chapters have been rewritten and updated by the same authors.

This monograph is, once again, an attempt to give a comprehensive overview of where we are today with this very pernicious disease. The monograph is intended primarily for clinical colleagues and those in training.
