An inflammation of the lung caused by infection with bacteria or viruses which sometimes develops from a simple viral cold or influenza.
This is a long-term condition that occurs when the main air passages of the lungs, the bronchial tubes, become inflamed and go into spasm. Extra mucus is also producedalong the lining of the bronchi. The spasms and mucus accumulation blog the respiratory passage.
This is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in one or both of the lungs. These abnormal cells reproduce rapidly and form tumours which destroy a part of the lung so that it does not work properly.
This is the abnormal enlargement of alveoli in the lung which also causes them to loose elasticity.as a result the alveoli are unable to efficiently exchange gases between lungs and blood.
This involves an inflammation of the bronchial tubes which causes a persistent cough and produces a significant amount of phlegm ([‘flem] – харкотиння, слиз) and mucus.
