Speaking on Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD), Dr Vivek Nangia, Director & Head, Pulmonology Department, Max Hospital, New Delhi, said,“Once the lungs get scarring (injury in lungs) called fibrosis is found to be irreversible. However, in the case of COVID patients, we have seen in the l...
While there were no statistical benefits for patients with the lung-scarring disease, the new research will prevent unnecessary antibiotic use that could contribute to the growing problem of antibiotic resistance. The nationwide clinical trial — believed to be the largest idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis ...
lungs, but doctors have struggled to visualize this damage. Conventional chest scans do not reliably detect signs oflungscarring and other pulmonary abnormalities, which makes it difficult to track the health and recovery of people with persistent breathing problems and other post-COVID complications....
or pulmonary fibrosis, which is scarring in the lungs, those things don't heal. We have treatments that stop them from getting worse, but we don't have a way to just fix it and make it act like you were never exposed to that problem and the lung never got damaged in the first pla...
