Abstract
Both bronchial asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are recognized as inflammatory diseases, although the inflammatory process for each disease is different. In this review, I describe some inflammatory molecules that seem to be involved in the inflammatory process in each disease.Keywords
