Respiratory System (J00-J99)
- Bronchial asthma
- Bronchiectasis (synonym: bronchiectasis) – permanent irreversible saccular or cylindrical dilatation of the bronchi that may be congenital or acquired; symptoms: chronic cough with “mouthful expectoration” (large-volume triple-layered sputum: foam, mucus, and pus), fatigue, weight loss, and decreased exercise capacity
- Bronchiolitis – inflammation of the small branches of the bronchial tree, called bronchioles.
- Bronchitis (inflammation of the mucous membranes in the bronchi), acute obstructive
- Bronchitis, recurrent (recurrent).
- Bronchitis, chronic
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) – progressive (progressive), not fully reversible (reversible) obstruction (narrowing) of the airways.
- Epiglottis (inflammation of the epiglottis)
- Laryngitis (inflammation of the larynx)
- Pleurisy (pleurisy)
- Pneumonia (pneumonia)
- Pseudocroup – laryngitis (inflammation of the larynx), which leads mainly to swelling of the mucous membrane below the vocal cords (stenosing laryngitis).
- Retropharyngeal abscess – collection of pus that runs along between the cervical spine and the posterior pharyngeal wall.
- Tracheitis (inflammation of the trachea).
Cardiovascular system (I00-I99)
- Pulmonary embolism – pulmonary infarction occurring due to acute occlusion of pulmonary vessels.
- Myocardial infarction (heart attack)
Infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99).
- Pertussis (whooping cough)
- Tuberculosis (consumption)
Mouth, esophagus (esophagus), stomach, and intestines (K00-K67; K90-K93).
- For recurrent (reoccurring) aspiration:
- Laryngeal clefts (clefts in the larynx).
- Esophagotracheal fistula – fistula (unnatural connection) between the esophagus (food pipe) and the trachea (windpipe)
Musculoskeletal system and connective tissue (M00-M99).
- Cervical spine syndrome
Neoplasms – tumor diseases (C00-D48)
- Bronchial carcinoma (lung cancer)
Symptoms and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings not elsewhere classified (R00-R99)
