Welcome to Pulmonology at DIRAMS. We diagnose and treat diseases of the airway and thoracic structures—trachea/bronchi, lungs, mediastinum, pleura, and chest wall. Key symptoms include cough, sputum, hemoptysis, dyspnea, and chest pain. Major diseases include lung cancer, asthma, COPD, bronchiectasis, tuberculosis, pneumonia, interstitial lung disease, pulmonary embolism, pneumothorax, and pleural effusion. Main tests include pulmonary function testing, asthma/allergy testing, bronchoscopy, autofluorescence bronchoscopy, and endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS), a cutting-edge tool available mainly at top university hospitals and crucial for lung cancer staging and treatment decisions.
