Lungs Conditions & Diseases

Chronic inflammatory disease causing airway hyper‑responsiveness and reversible airflow obstruction.

Progressive lung disease characterized by persistent airflow limitation, usually due to smoking.

Destruction of alveolar walls leading to enlarged air spaces and reduced elastic recoil.

Long‑term inflammation of the bronchi with productive cough lasting at least three months in two consecutive years.

Infection that inflames the air sacs in one or both lungs, which may fill with fluid or pus.

Bacterial infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis affecting the lung parenchyma.

Malignant growth of cells in the lung tissue, most commonly non‑small cell carcinoma.

Scarring of lung tissue that leads to progressive loss of lung function.

Blockage of a pulmonary artery by a blood clot, often originating from deep veins of the leg.

Severe inflammatory lung injury causing diffuse alveolar damage and hypoxemia.

Permanent dilation of bronchi due to chronic infection or inflammation.

Genetic disorder causing thick, sticky mucus that clogs the airways and leads to recurrent infections.

Group of disorders causing inflammation and scarring of the lung interstitium.

Multisystem granulomatous disease that frequently involves the lungs and lymph nodes.

Accumulation of excess fluid between the layers of the pleura surrounding the lungs.

Presence of air in the pleural space causing partial or complete lung collapse.

Inflammation of the small airways, most commonly caused by viral infection in infants and young children.

Highly contagious bacterial infection characterized by severe coughing fits.

Pneumoconiosis caused by inhalation of crystalline silica dust, leading to lung fibrosis.

Fibrotic lung disease resulting from prolonged exposure to asbestos fibers.

Lung disease caused by long‑term inhalation of coal dust, leading to fibrosis.

Immune‑mediated inflammation of the lung parenchyma after inhalation of organic antigens.

Elevated pressure in the pulmonary arteries leading to right‑heart strain.

Common viral infection causing bronchiolitis and pneumonia, especially in infants and the elderly.

Short‑term inflammation of the bronchi, usually viral, causing cough and sputum production.

Localized collection of pus within the lung parenchyma, often secondary to aspiration.

Accumulation of fluid in the alveolar spaces, commonly due to left‑heart failure or acute injury.

Genetic disorder leading to early‑onset emphysema due to unchecked elastase activity.

Progressive scarring of lung tissue of unknown cause, most often affecting the lower lobes.

Chronic lung disease of premature infants who required prolonged mechanical ventilation.

Persistent obstruction of pulmonary arteries by organized blood clots leading to hypertension.
