For the first time, in 1679, Bonet described a condition of “voluminous lungs”. Matthew Baillie illustrated an emphysematous lung in 1789 and described the destructive character of the condition. In 1808, bronchitis was first described by Charles Badham in England. The terms chronic bronchitis and emphysema were formally defined at the CIBA guest symposium of physicians in 1959. COPD has probably always existed but has been called by different names in the past. The term COPD was first used by William Briscoe in 1965 and has gradually overtaken other terms to become established today as the preferred name for this disease.
