Introduction to Lung Disease

  • First Online:
Targeting Epigenetics in Inflammatory Lung Diseases

Abstract

There has been a rise in the number of documented instances of lung illness in both children and adults around the globe. Both the morbidity and mortality rates associated with lung illness are from the unknown source. However, estimates from the GHO and other officialdoms imply that over 400 million people throughout the world are affected by asthma and COPD, most of them with very moderate symptoms. Non-infectious lung disease (LD) includes COPD, cystic fibrosis, asthma, lung cancer, and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), whereas infectious lung diseases include influenza, TB, and COPD. A combination of environmental circumstances, including an aging population and the absence of effective medications to the mild factor of LD, increased the chances of severe lung illnesses. With the widespread prevalence and devastating effects of lung diseases such as COPD, asthma, COVID-19, fibrosis, and flu-like symptoms, studies aimed at developing effective treatments and prevention measures are now being funded on a high-priority basis.
