  • Allergic granulomatosis

    Allergic granulomatosis is an allergy that causes inflammation of the blood vessels. This inflammation leads to major passageways getting blocked affecting breathing or swallowing. When an adult develops asthma, it can be a sign of allergic granulomatosis. It is also known as Churg-Straus syndrome or eosinophilic granu  Read More

  • Allergic granulomatosis and angiitis

    Allergic granulomatosis and angiitis or Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis is a condition that affects the small blood vessels and capillaries in the body. It is an extremely rare condition and causes inflammation of these small blood vessels that leads to blocking of the airways and other passages in the bo  Read More

  • Copd (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)

    COPD is a chronic lung disease that results in obstructed airflow from the lungs. Asthmatics have difficulty breathing, cough, cough up mucus (sputum), and wheeze. It is most commonly caused by long-term exposure to irritating particles or gases, such as cigarette smoke. COPD patients are more likely to develop heart disease, lung cancer, and a variety of other health problems. COPD is frequently caused by emphysema and chronic bronchitis. COP  Read More

  • Extrinsic allergic pneumonia

    Extrinsic Allergic Pneumonia, also known as Allergic Interstitial Pneumonitis and Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis, is an inflammatory syndrome that affects the lungs. Extrinsic: the origin is an external matter - an antigen. Allergic: The cause is an allergic reaction to the antigen. Pneumonia is an inflammation of the lungs. The syndrome differs depending on the antigen and the amount of exposure. Antigen exposure can be  Read More

  • Fibrosing alveolitis

    Fibrosing Alveolitis, also known as Pulmonary Fibrosis, is a lung condition that affects the tissues that support the air sacs. As a result, it is more difficult for them to absorb the necessary oxygen for respiration. The lung tissues thicken and scar in this condition, resulting in decreased elasticity of the organ and making breathing difficult.    Read More

  • Necrotizing respiratory granulomatosis

    Necrotizing Sarcoid Granulomatosis (NSG) is a rare granulomatous illness that primarily affects the lungs and manifests as nodular masses of confluent sarcoid-like granulomas with severe necrosis and vasculitis. It was first described in 1973, as a lung granulomatous disease with sarcoid-like granulomas, vasculitis, and varying degrees of necrosis.  Necrotizing sarcoid granulomatosis is considered a variant of sarcoidosis.  Read More

  • Pulmonary fibrosis

    Damage and scarring in lung tissue lead to pulmonary fibrosis. The scars thicken the tissue around and between the air sacs in your lungs, making it difficult for oxygen to pass into the bloodstream.  The reason for scarring can be multiple causes, but in most cases, doctors can’t find the exact reason for the wound. Such conditions are known as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Exposure to numerous toxins and  Read More

  • Sarcoid of boeck

    The sarcoid of boeck (sarcoidosis) is a chronic inflammatory disease that can affect any organ in the body, but most often involves the skin and lungs.  Sarcoid of boeck is characterized by the formation of small, round bumps (nodules) under the skin and in the lungs.  This condition was first described in the medical literature in 1869 by a German physician named Carl Boeck. It is also sometimes  Read More

  • Usual interstitial pneumonia (uip)

    Usual Interstitial Pneumonia (UIP) is a radiologic and histopathologic pattern of interstitial lung disease.  The prognosis of usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) is poor as the current therapies related to it are of unproven value.  Moreover, the mean survival of a patient following diagnosis with UIP is approximately three years.  The person may also require lung transplantation in case of a f  Read More
