Is Pulmonary Fibrosis Contagious? |
Hi, I would like to know if Pulmonary Fibrosis is Contagious? if so, how is it transmitted? - Thanks No it is not contagious. Little is known about the mechanism of the disease, but there does seem to be a genetic component and some sort of trigger - either environmental, lung injury, etc. The body actually attacks itself (autoimmune disorder) and destroys its own lung tissue. For more information, see one of these sites: No is it not. No. I think it's mainly an inherited disease. No virus or bacteria involved. No , the lungs just get harder and less elastic. We need the lungs to be pliable and recoil to breathe easy. |
