Pulmonology is a medical specialty that focuses the diseases of the respiratory system. Major diseases of the respiratory system are respiratory failure, asthma and emphysema, as well as infectious diseases such as pneumonia, tuberculosis, pleurisy and pulmonary abscess, or tumor syndromes such as lung cancer or pleural cancer.
The symptomatology of the patient suffering from a pulmonary disorder results from abnormalities within the respiratory system. As a result, the patient presents with certain clinical signs such as a persistent cough or shortness of breath, even in the absence of physical effort.
People exposed to fibrous-textured minerals such as asbestos, sawdust or any other toxic product are at risk. A control visit makes it possible to check the state of the lungs and thus detect possible pulmonary disorders.
It should be noted that family history may have some influence on a patient’s health status, especially in cases of cancer, asthma, or allergies. Other factors such as the presence of pets at the individual’s home and the medical history of early childhood also contribute to the onset of lung disease.
