What are the lung diseases?

In a narrow sense, lung diseases refer to diseases that accumulate in the lungs, such as pneumonia, tuberculosis, lung cancer, interstitial lung disease, chronic eosinophilic pneumonia, allergic pneumonia, etc. In a broad sense, lung diseases also include other respiratory diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchiectasis, bronchial asthma, and pulmonary vascular diseases such as pulmonary embolism and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. For example, pleural effusion, pneumothorax and pleural diseases can be considered lung diseases. For lung diseases, under normal circumstances, it is necessary to go to the respiratory department to assess the patient's condition and give appropriate treatment. In addition, there are also some lung diseases that may need to be treated by thoracic surgery.
