Medical Conditions - Parenchymal Infiltration In The Lung

Parenchymal infiltration in the lungs occurs due to the presence of pulmonary infiltrates. These are substances present in the lungs, such as pus, blood, and protein. Parenchymal infiltration in the lungs can cause pneumonia and tuberculosis. They can be seen in the chest radiograph. They are managed by taking broad-spectrum empiric antibiotic therapy for five to fourteen days.

My wife has PPFE with failed lungs. What is the next step?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. I am really sorry you and your wife are going through this; it must feel very stressful and overwhelming.
