    Abstract:
    Pulmonary disorders are common and important causes of morbidity and even mortality in adolescents. Conditions that are considered in this article include asthma, cystic fibrosis, and vocal cord dysfunction. Chronic and recurrent exacerbations may occur in youth with such disorders; therefore, they must adhere to potentially many pharmacologic agents and therapeutic procedures on a regular basis for maximum medical and psychosocial outcomes. It is important that physicians use au courant evidence-based guidelines in the management of adolescents. It is also critical that physicians educate adolescents about these regimens to help them maximize management outcomes. If disease control is inadequate, referral to a pulmonary specialist can be helpful to verify the correct diagnosis(es) and ensure that the most appropriate therapies are used.
