Asthma is caused by the allergen-reagin reaction that occurs in
the bronchioles of the lungs. Allergen stimulates histamine
production from mast cells which in turn causes spasm of the
bronchiolar smooth muscle. The overall result is the difficulty in
breathing until histamines and allergens are removed.
Pneumothorax refers to abnormal entry of air into plueral cavity
causing the collapsing of lungs and separation between visceral and
parietal pleurae. This abnormal separation destroys the negative
pressure of the pleural space leading to recoiling of lungs towards
the hillum.

A patient with emphysema presents due to asthma and COPD. When you reference asthma with COPD, the Index refers coding professionals to code J44.9, Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, unspecified.

However, there is an Excludes1 note at J44 that...
