C

  2. Chronic lung infection

    Chronic lung infections are caused by viruses, bacteria or fungal organisms that affect the respiratory tract for a long time

  3. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

    Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a group of conditions that affect your breathing and quality of life. Learn how to effectively manage your symptoms.

P

  1. Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD)

    Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare disorder in which the airways of the lungs become infected due to abnormalities of the cilia.

R

  1. Respiratory failure

    Respiratory failure is characterised by abnormal levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood due to inadequate gas exchange in the lungs.

S

  1. Sarcoidosis

    Sarcoidosis is a rare inflammatory condition that develops when your immune system overreacts, causing areas of excessive inflammation to develop.
