BOLL
Boll: The Root of Respiratory Distress
Description:
Boll is a rare, life-threatening lung disease that affects newborns and infants. It is characterized by severe inflammation and fluid buildup in the air sacs of the lungs, making it difficult for babies to breathe. Boll is often associated with prenatal or postnatal infections and can be fatal if not treated promptly.
Associated Diseases:
- Congenital heart defects: Boll is often associated with heart defects that impede blood flow to the lungs, such as atrial septal defect and patent ductus arteriosus.
- Pulmonary hypertension: Boll can lead to pulmonary hypertension, a condition in which the pressure in the lungs is abnormally high.
- Pneumonia: Boll can develop as a complication of pneumonia, whether caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi.
- Sepsis: Severe Boll can lead to sepsis, a life-threatening infection that spreads throughout the body.
Did you Know ?
- Boll affects approximately 1 in 10,000 live births.
