The cure rate for white lung has significantly improved compared to the past. However, extensive white lung indicates a high likelihood of respiratory failure and may lead to septic shock, electrolyte imbalances, and coagulation disorders when accompanied by severe infection, potentially endangering life in severe cases. Early infection must be actively treated to prevent further worsening of white lung.
