A small percentage of babies are born with one lung. This can result from birth defects such as congenital diaphragmatic hernia, where the diaphragm is incompletely formed.
The condition is not uniformly fatal, except where the lung is not the only organ with a serious defect (heart, liver, kidneys). Many children who survive infancy with one lung can lead normal, active lives. There are usually medical problems that can be worsened, however, in the absence of two complete functioning lungs.
Conjoined twins are often separated, and in some cases may have only one lung each after surgery.
Pneumonia is one type of lung infection, but not all infections are pneumonia. It depends on which sort of bacteria are causing the infection and where in the lungs the infection is.
Yes you can live with one lung.
RTI = Respiratory Tract Infection Both terms describe a serious bacterial infection of at least one lung
Staphylococcus aureus skin infection. Streptococcus pyogen throat infection. Streptococcus pneumoniae respiratory (lung) infection. And many, many more.
Activities a person can do with only one lung is something we might not know because they don't have enough strength to do it.
Whatever you want. Arnold Jacobs, one of the best tuba players of the 1900's, had only one lung, and yet he could play louder than an entire section of lesser tubas. Having only one lung means that you need to strengthen that lung a bit first, but you really have no limitation. The Average person only uses like 20 percent of their full lung capacity. Just get your one lung up to at leat 40 and youll be good
