		Respiratory disease is a term that is used to describe a number of problems that affect the organs of the respiratory system [1].
		Acute lower respiratory tract infections are similar to upper respiratory tract infections, in that they are characterised usually by rapid-onset with severe symptoms, and last generally for up to a week (and less than three months) [4].
		Chronic lower respiratory tract conditions include chronic bronchitis, emphysema, asthma, and bronchiectasis (because of the rarity of bronchiectasis in the general populations of developed countries, the condition is often not considered along with the other three conditions).

		Disease of the respiratory system was the fourth most common cause of death for Indigenous males living in Queensland, WA, SA, and the NT combined for the period 1997-1999, and was responsible for 8.2% of deaths [1].
		Respiratory disease was responsible for 15.2% of the 51,880 hospital separations of Indigenous males in Australia in 1999-2000 (excluding those for renal dialysis), and for 14.4% of the 53,351 separations of Indigenous females (excluding those for renal dialysis and pregnancy-related conditions) [2].
		Chronic lower respiratory diseases (J40-J47) were responsible for 3.6% of Indigenous male separations and for 4.4% of Indigenous female separations, with rates 3.0 and 4.1 times respectively those of non-Indigenous males and females.

		The terms “disease” and “condition” are often used interchangeably, although we generally refer to high blood pressure as a condition, and cancer or stroke as diseases.
		For each of these chronic diseases, considerable effort will be required to duplicate the successes seen in coronary heart disease and cervical cancer, where the indicator rates are declining, Washington has lower rates than the US as a whole, and the Healthy People targets have been met.
		Similarly, most chronic disease rates are higher in men than women, although arthritis is a notable exception; and, we define the public health problem of breast cancer as predominantly a female problem, because the rate differences between men and women are so large.

		Interstitial pneumonia is an uncommon but important cause of acute or chronic lower respiratory disease in horses and foals of unknown cause.
		Clinical signs: Adult horses may present with acute or chronic weight loss, progressive dyspnea, tachypnea, cough, nasal discharge, fever, tachycardia, cyanotic mucous membranes, crackles and wheezes on lung auscultation or, if there is severe pulmonary edema, absence of lung sounds.
		Prevention is difficult as cause is not known; however, immunizations against viral respiratory agents, appropriate deworming program, and good nutrition can help maintain strong immunity to respiratory insults.
