Acute pulmonary disease is often accompanied by dyspnoea, haemoptysis, chest pain or respiratory insufficiency. Being familiar with

the differential diagnosis of these symptoms is the main condition for good-quality diagnosis and treatment that are dealt with in the

first part of the paper. The second part deals with several acute pulmonary conditions including acute asthma, acute COPD exacerbation

and acute pneumothorax, the management of which as well as the differential diagnosis of symptoms are presented with an emphasis

on the extent and clarity of the text.

Keywords: COPD, bronchial asthma, exacerbation, pneumothorax, respiratory insufficiency, dyspnoea, haemoptysis, chest pain
