Adult pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis (APLCH) is a rare lung disease. We report a case of APLCH and pregnancy with detailed lung function tests. There was no significant change in the lung function tests during pregnancy. It is apparent that pregnancy does not influence the evolution of pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease III: Chronic Bronchitis Features

Chronic bronchitis is a key phenotype of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), characterized by airway-centered inflammation and mucus overproduction. It develops from long-term exposure to harmful particles or gases, most commonly cigarette smoke, which triggers a persistent inflammatory response.Cellular and Structural ChangesInflammation initially affects the large bronchi and later the smaller airways, with infiltration by immune cells, including neutrophils, macrophages, and...
