Conditions
Fibrosis and interstitial disease, asthma and COPD, long-lasting cough and breathlessness, nodules and effusion, and cell therapy, each explained in plain language.
Fibrosis and interstitial lung disease
In these diseases the thin wall of the air sacs becomes thick and stiff. Breathlessness that slowly grows and a dry cough are the two main symptoms. Finding the type comes first, because treatment depends on it.
