Acute pulmonary manifestations due to radiation occur when a person is exposed to high levels of radiation, which can cause inflammation and damage to the lungs. this can lead to difficulty breathing, chest pain, and coughing. in severe cases, it can cause pulmonary edema and even death.
What happens during the disease - acute pulmonary manifestations due to radiation
Acute pulmonary manifestations due to radiation are caused by direct damage to the lung tissue caused by radiation and the subsequent inflammatory response. this includes damage to the alveolar epithelium, capillaries, and interstitium, leading to increased permeability of the alveoli, edema, and inflammation. these changes can cause respiratory distress, coughing, fever, and other pulmonary symptoms.
