Both autoimmunity and leukemia are serious diseases, and both can result in death. Both are often treated with similar chemotherapy drugs, resulting in similar side effects. Leukemia can be treated so the patient is *cured*. Autoimmune disease is usually forever.
No, lingular and pulmonary fibrosis are not the same. Pulmonary fibrosis is a condition where the lung tissue becomes thick and stiff, and the air sacs of the lungs become scarred. This can cause difficulty breathing, coughing, and chest pain. Lingular fibrosis is a specific type of pulmonary fibrosis. It is a form of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia and affects the middle lobe of the lung. It is more common in women than in men and is seen in people who are between the ages of 40 and 70. Pulmonary fibrosis is a progressive and often fatal condition that is caused by an unknown etiology and is characterized by scarring of the lung tissue. This scarring can cause the tissue to become thick and stiff, which can make it difficult for air to move in and out of the lungs, leading to shortness of breath and other respiratory symptoms. Common causes of pulmonary fibrosis include environmental exposures, medications, radiation therapy, and autoimmune conditions. Lingular fibrosis is a form of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia that affects the middle lobe of the lung. It is more common in women than in men, and is seen in people who are between the ages of 40 and 70. The cause of lingular fibrosis is unknown, but it is thought to be related to an autoimmune condition. It is characterized by scarring of the lung tissue, and can cause difficulty breathing, coughing, and chest pain. The symptoms of both pulmonary fibrosis and lingular fibrosis are similar, but the two conditions are distinct. Pulmonary fibrosis affects the entire lung, while lingular fibrosis only affects the middle lobe. In addition, the causes of the two conditions are different. While the cause of pulmonary fibrosis is unknown, lingular fibrosis is thought to be related to an autoimmune condition. Therefore, lingular and pulmonary fibrosis are not the same.
