Abstract
Respiratory diseases are an important cause of morbidity and mortality in pregnant women. Chronic lung diseases, such as asthma and cystic fibrosis, may present unique management problems in pregnancy, and other lung diseases, such as pneumonia and tuberculosis, can target pregnant women just as they target non-pregnant women.
