What is the recovery rate for white lung pneumonia?
Disease description:

Dr. Guo Xiheng
The recovery rate for severe white lung is not high, but clinical recovery is possible. Severe white lung may be caused by serious infections, such as severe bacterial infections, or even viral or fungal infections, all of which can lead to extensive lung whitening, resulting in severe respiratory failure and life-threatening conditions. With appropriate antibiotics and other supportive treatments, recovery is sometimes achievable.
